  • ! This reminds me alot of the "split or steal" show where if both of the two contestants chose to split, then they would both get half, but if one chose steal and the other split, then the one who chose steal would get everything. If both chose steal then they would get nothing.

    Here the women would almost always use their puppy-eyed innocence and make the male contestant choose split while they stole.

    ps: At the age of 19 you've probably always had a this dominant figure telling you what to do.

  • OMG! THIS IS AWESOME!

  • This brings me back,we did this in 6th grade. And it actually worked

  • I used to think that the nazi excuses for what they did during the Holocaust were bullshit as they would always say they were just following orders. Now I think anyone would have done the same thing if they were told to by a superior.

  • I had to make a new playlist just for your vids. Keep up the awesome work!!!

  • We watch these leanbacks and learn so much from them. I suggest everyone here be leaders so we can stop stupidity (so-to-speak) amongst the people around us

  • If you look closely you can see that, before every "shock", #Emma loughs a lil... Now that's a true bitch.

  • wheres the dicktits.

  • Im making a school proyect about this videos!!!

    THANKS VSAUCE

  • Wow it just shows even though our brains are amazing and are ever evoliving addapting creating they are easily manipulated by outside pressures

  • In the Milgram experiments the women kept increasing the voltages of the "shocks", while the men stopped when they heard cries of the student's pain.

    I think this could be caused by the fact that women tend to be more submissive, as in they listen and obey to authority and such. (Perhaps intimidation?)

    and the men chose to stop possibly because men tend to be more aggressive, as in they will listen to authority, but to their own moral extent. (Perhaps no intimidation?)

    That's my hypothesis

  • @DNaidoo95

    Okay let me revise since I've not watched the full video

    I believe that the people (the men and women) who kept increasing voltages did so because they were submissive and chose to obey their authority (Perhaps out of intimidation to authority)

    while the people who chose to stop increasing the voltage did so because they were more aggressive and listened to authority, but to their own moral extent. (Perhaps they had no intimidation)

  • @DNaidoo95 If you notice the younger ones had less reaction to the pain they were giving... One girl laughed saying "did we kill him?" while another said "i didn't even think about it" Which is funny, cause I say that all the time to my mom. My guess is that a persons brain(frontal lobe specifically) isn't fully devolved until early 20's, the girl that laughed was 19... So maybe her judgment was compromised because of this, and it made her less sensitive to someones pain. IDK just a hypothesis.

  • Don't you just love this channel. It's like my daily dose of knowledge.

  • wow i therefore conclude that girls are sadist

  • yeah !!

  • Giving sum stranger a 450V , just because of a wrong answer ? This generation must be eliminated .

  • @Mrdevinda the experiments show this is not limited to any one single generation. This is about the nature of the humans. Also, that includes YOUR generation as well.

  • @broadcaster1star Which generation? How can we be so evil ?

  • @Mrdevinda you do realize that the originally experiment that took place in the 60s yielded the same results right? You're an idiot.

  • You should start a religion! I listen to your preaching!

  • cool

    

  • "right of the bat" heheheh

  • butthasch ? haah

  • BAH BAH BAH . FAH FAH FAH .

  • After seeing this, I no longer wonder why politicians don't give a fuck about the public.

  • please do a sequel to this leanback. social experiments are awesome.

    thumbs if you agree

  • I Am Really Disgusted At My Self After Seeing These Videos It Made Me Question My Self That Am I That Much Of A Idiot To Not Help A Person In Need Or Shock Some Stranger To Death Because Some Other Stranger Told Me That Its The Right Thing To Do!!! I Don't Know What I'll See Next Time I Stand In The Mirror !!! This Was A Serious Lesson People!!! Change Your Self While You Still Can !!! These Videos Made Me A Better Person !!! Thank You Vsauce For Showing Me These VIds !!!

  • At the beginning when he says number four it's to the beat of the music.

  • DO vsauce leanback stop motion...

  • it was actually quite sad and in horror for me to witness from the milgram experience, was actual people, people our age...contributing to the infliction of pain without any decency of stopping and protesting...extraordinary human nature we took part in and made...

  • I just talked about the McGurk effect for a college assignment where I didn't know what to write about--so thank you Vsauce, for making my life easier.

  • How do you turn autoplay on :(

    

  • @WhimsicalUnicorn Herp Derp. (sorry had 2) To turn autoplay on, well, you see on the very bottom where it has that bar and it says what leanback this is and yeah that? With the vids? On the far right of it, there is a button that has two arrows and it forms a circle. Just click that

  • First time I ever really got into vsauce's stuff as in not watching his img vids casually. Vsauce is a great source of information... and the way he speaks and shares this stuff is so easy to just listen to and learn about and WOW!

  • seemed like the girls in the experiment had no problem hurting people, but the guys really gave it more thought...females are heartless

  • The young chick with blond hair and big teeth in Milgram's experiment was hot.

  • In the milgram's experiment maybe it also has to do with age? The younger the more you obey.

  • @TheSwamo Uhm.. no. The original experiment had mostly middle aged people and the results are the same. Many of the middle aged people in this reproduction behaved the same way, so I'm not sure where you're basing that theory off of.

  • keep pressing 0

  • i thought the test of people applying to the majority was the sos experiment, (spiral of silence) i could be wrong

  • where are the clips??

  • IT WONT WORK

  • Milgram

  • Mil gram

  • phillip's my hero

  • do a leanback on plants.

  • Holy crap that 19 year old wasnt even hesitating.

  • @Sonicalex0 yeah seeing that freaked me out.

  • Great stuff bro,

    Most people interested in social psychology will know about these videos already. But it's awesome you collect them in playlists

  • where can i watch the videos in their entirety. why would you put up just the introductions. are you being difficult on pur[ose

  • If vsauce was my teacher, I'd love school....

  • humans ruins humanity

  • wheres the next episode??????? im leaning back, but theres no new episodes

  • i have been itching for the next episode of this!!!!

    

  • hurry up with leanback 5 please

  • wow the Milgram's Obedience to Authority Experiment was mind blowing!

  • @telmob agree...heard about it before but good that i could finally see it...keep up the work michael

  • It's pretty awesome, i learnt all the Psychology in this playlist in GCSE :D.

  • well.. i feel gud after watching this dat... i stood alone for somethings that i felt rite.. and its proved :)

  • I watch this whilst I eat soup :)

  • That last experiment is terrible.I cant believe that that one guy is the only one who had the mind to stop.That anyone would inflict life threatening pain on those people,i cant believe that.Especially the looks on some of their faces,they looked as if they were enjoying it! This whole leanback episode has tol me how the people of the world have no morals,and are too afraid to be themselves and do as they believe they should do.

  • the last video reminded me of the end of portal 2 co-op because i didnt know if i did the right thing by letting the humans get tested on...i felt bad and a little happy becase the game tell you that u have saved science.

  • i like learning all this stuff here... but when i'm forced to learn it in school, i hate it! i think it's the setting.. SCHOOL!! RUN AWAY!!!

  • oh and now i get why the beard michael ;)

  • the pscho-social experiments like the last two change according to the social values of given people... i'm sure the same experiments conducted in different countries will give different results.

    the last test for example would work less effectively in a less developed country (more generally) where people don't have that respect and obedience to aythority, don't trust what might be going on vis a vis human rights in their coutry etc...

    i'm assuming all of this because i come from one of these

  • @961kgb It wouldnt as instead of a scientist it would be a different authority figure. Also in more economically develpoed countrys the indvdual has more freedom and is more likly to rebel then in a less economically develpoed country.

  • I always watch this show when i eat lunch :)

  • bbfiojijdtibjtiid iojngio irjiongn

  • What is the music you use in this video?

  • keep it up

  • I Have learned more from leanback than in 1 year of school!

  • @Gmod4ThaWin What a horrible school

  • @Gmod4ThaWin I feel bad for your school then.

  • @Gmod4ThaWin actually though... that's what's sad

  • All this took place in black mesa you know. Aperture is for real science

  • This is probably the most amazing thing I've watched all year.. no, that's wrong; my whole life. It really opens up your eyes to how humans truly are, and it's quite amazing. This honestly makes me want to go on to study psychology in University. Thank you Michael.

  • what about gut feelings? the last experiment doesnt take into account the fact that humans can pick up on gut feelings / situations that arent as they seem... does the experiment consider this?

  • Love it

  • Can you imagine how Media is the massage! This goes a long way to explaining both fundamentalism and the young sheeple a poor education produce. Belief in Aliens, religion, prophecy and many of humanities major works,started in fear, around the campfire 150K years ago. Fight corpratocratic take over of our net. The only fight worthy of humans, and it will never fail, if the law refuse to shoot, is long term peaceful demonstrations.

  • that last experiment was bullshit. The 'professor' told them it wouldn't damage them in long term effects. Most people would feel fine about doint it it you were to tell them that. He should of played along and said it could potentially kill them. Oh, and this was in Britain, so maybe it would be different in the U.S. or some other country. We all know that they're assholes anyway lol

  • @Timmytard190 Your a total douche. That experiment has been repeated hundreds of times all around the world with different variables and the same results. All that comment did was further reinforce the rest of the world's view of what ignorant uneducated fucktards people like you are. (Notice how I didn't have to make obnoxious generalizations about your country to show what a prick you are).

  • @2TheFot just stating the obvious. Sorry, I don't want to make you whine or cry, so I'll just say that Britain is for fags. Good day,sir lol

  • @2TheFot Seriously dude dont even bother wasting time on that guy, he's just making controversy and anything you say will just rile him up even more. Besides Im irish and well you know how the stereotypes between england and Ireland are and I think britain is cool place to be. So is the usa or most any other country just so long as you avoid dopes like that... peace bro

  • @Timmytard190 The thrid clips experment has been repeted all over the world with people from different countrys and it is always the same. The main reason the clip is from the UK is that we actually make and watch documentrys on tv we dont need people on the internet to find it for us (Still love the Vsauce crew).

    and on that note I remember watching this show years ago tv.

  • Very enlightening. Good job.

  • These videos confirm my previous beliefs about humans....

  • this is soo good

  • The Milgrim study was horrible, its really scary when you think about it =(

  • But, did you see the gorilla? And DA FUCK with the banana?!?

  • HOW EVIL WAS THE B*TCH IN THE LAS EXPERIMENT !!!!!? the 19 year old student ? Stupid b*tch was smiling whilst inflicting pain on another human being ! talk about never to judge a book by its cover ! Im sorry but i go with my instinct and if i come across someone who appears to be suffering i would go to there aid at the end of the day that could be me lying there !

  • I don't understand how to watch some of your videos. What do I do with the text from the textbin.com link? Where is the Psychology Experiments videos?

  • okay...So for the last one I've learned that people will always say: Orders Are Orders

  • Objavljene fotografije snimljene sat nakon ubistva Bin Ladena (FOTO)"

  • You know, the last one kind of reminds of one of those horror movies where you have to kill other people to live, only the only motivation to "kill" people is that an authority figure told you to.

    I have an incredibly hard time believing that could actually happen. Do people really not consider what they're doing for two seconds and realize that they're killing someone for a simple experiment in memory? How can they think the output of it can justify torturing and killing someone?

    O.o

  • I've come across most of these experiments in psychology but was it still very interesting to see some visual aids and though I have seen the last 3 clips before, they still shocked me! :O I think I'll have to suggest this to my tutor to show to next year as an overview. Great playlist LEANBACK!

  • I'm don't know if this means anything, but I don't think I'd follow through with the experiments the way the subjects did. Maybe that's what all the subjects would've thought too...

    I'm scared now.

  • For science, you monster.

  • @flstudiofreak  :D glados

  • @flstudiofreak i was playing that 5 minutes ago...

  • @flstudiofreak hahahaha

  • @flstudiofreak GLADos?

  • thanks vsauce - that was awesome! the last one was a doosey - all classics.

  • Comment removed

  • Each Lean-back is better then the last. And the first 1 was great. So I don't even know how to rate this 1. Totally awesome is the best I can come up with.

  • thought it was wheezy waiter

  • Psychology <3 Best leanback ever

  • cracked [dot] com [slash] article_16239_5-psychological-­experiments-that-prove-humanit­y-doomed_p2.html

    this is where he got everything from

  • If I were in the final experiment, I would just put it right to the highest voltage and hold it down for a minute, knowing that it's a fake because it's illegal to strap someone in a chair and torture them with electricity.

  • there was one women at the end who seemed to gain pleasure from inducing shocks,she looked pretty satisfied when she did the 450v shock.im scared of regular people now

  • the lat one is just messed up i mean rly

  • Hey you are from the key of awesome!

  • The last one scary ha ..... it was something i realized myself that people don't give much shit about each other and would just hurt you even just for fun. Every normal person is a villain

  • Who Wants To Do Some Hidden Masters on ps3 black ops

    Message Me the code: "GunShop" to play must have Ghost pro!

    PSN: BOMB_CRAZY

  • in playlist Awesome Psychology! Vsauce Leanback #4

  • People are crazy! Do they not know that 450V shock is a 100% death? They said: "I can tell that it wasn't me responsible, they told me to"

    It's a man's life for God's sake!

  • Sido hahaha

  • @Marcel651997

    dacht ich mir auch als ich das bild in klein gesehen hab :D

  • kill them for sciens just like glados dos !

  • This leanback ruined by the fact that I learned about all these in my psych class.

  • why dosnt my auto play work :(

  • i thought you were WeezyWaiter..

  • Homepage!!! YEAH!

  • 2/3 Of the final part was pretty damn scary.

    That 19 year old girl had no doubts about inflicting the shock at all quite messed up.

    and that red headed guy didnt seem to care at all about inflicting the shocks as well.

  • jesus christ, this shows how evil everybody are. In both the obidience to authority expiriment and the prison study u can see that as soon as you tell somebody that they can hurt others with no consequences they WILL do it. Only a small part of the people were actually humane but the others didnt give a shit. And waht about the Bystander Expiriment? I can get shot and lie on the ground dying and nobodys gonna give a shit cuz thet dont wanna stand out! this is a fucked up world!

  • please watch or some else would die like the last vid!

  • you were on the front page of dutch youtube :D

  • AWESOME!

  • The government can use it to see who will not obey and well you can do the rest ;).

  • The last one was good but I wouldn't agree to that... No reason to use pain as a measuring tool BUT if I was told that the person signing up knew the risk and what was going to be done I might be more willing to do it but never to a point of death or long term injury. The people in the test are average people under orders by someone who they think is smarter and wiser so he must know better so they just listen while the others listen to what they think is right. It's scary to think like this.

  • der sieht aus wie sido hahaha

  • Was that a real actual Test or an reenactment?

    I mean it wasnt rlly looking like an reenactment, but how a Biology student, a educated person doesnt know the milgrim experiment from school?

    Atleast this should be shown to all students all over the world.

  • emma the biology student can shock me anytime!

  • well...now I think I'm going to have nightmares of a professor saying "please continue the experiment.... the experiment must continue..."

  • This was my first lean back..... its was awesome!

  • Thanks for doing this. I remember all of these from my social psychology class.

    I'd like to see more of this on any topic you like.

  • thank you for making the only show on youtube which isn't a waste of time.. at all

  • i would have said no on the last test..i know that for a fact..i failed dodgeball in highschool because i thought it was too violent lol

  • It didn't mention were the people actually told after that 450V is a lethal voltage? All these experiments really just show that conformity is part of human nature and that individualism can have severe consequences. I don't want to spoil too much for future leanbackers so I will stop here.

  • Front page baby!!!!!

  • That's cool and all, but did you see the GORILLA???

  • @flstudiofreak Be original >.<

  • What I've learned.

    1. go with your gut feeling

    2. wear a fancy suit, people will help you quicker

    3. don't be a sheep to the authority figure, make your own decission g'dammit

  • @Arexsis U r damn right..

  • You Sounds like The tall guy from Berats and Berta

  • good job vsauce!

  • But MSNBC told me to lean forward!

  • This shit is scary and awesome...that last one specifically...I got chills just thinking that people will blindly follow authority despite knowing that it was wrong. I guess it also follows the Asch experiment as well...

    AWESOME stuff - please keep it coming :)

  • Proud to be Subbed ! realy.!

  • i saw the gorilla!

    sry, i'm a little late

  • tought it was wheezy waiter

  • Great job Vsauce; no ads, the playlist works perfectly, it's a hell of an interesting topic and you save the most interesting vid until the very end. Keep it up! More people need to see this.

  • this week the autoplay worked in fullscreen and they were even nice enough to take off the ads you guys at vsauce arent greedy your awesome

  • at the last one... if you put yourself in that pozition ... you would think that you would of done the right thing and end the experiment.. but to be honest ... you and me .. and most of us would of killed the man :D

  • people are the most dangerous life form we know of...

  • WHERE ARE THE FRUITS ??

  • people are the most dangerous animal

  • I love you vsauce!!!
