Obedience to Authority and the Power of Self-Justification

1. Both Philip Zimbardo in The Lucifer Effect and Carol Tavris and Elliot Aronson in Mistakes Were Made discuss Stanley Milgram’s famous experiment that was designed to try to understand how and why Hitler was able to get so many young people to kill, starve, and torture so many people in World War II.  The experiment led the participants to believe that they were shocking a person to see how punishment worked to motivate learners, slowly increasing the voltage each time. The combination of the participants desire to please the “authority” figure in the room, the scientist, and the participants ability to justify small increases in voltage led to participants agreeing to shock people with lethal voltages.  Purpose
