The Milgram Project

Psychology video.

This is a VERY basic take on the experiment. There's much more to it than what I went over here, but this might give you a decent idea of what it's all about.

It's supposed to be widescreen, so it's currently squeezed, but I'm having troubles with Compressor... can anyone help me out?

I know it's a bit cheesy...

Especially at the end. Haha.

One of the song credits is missing; the song is Fried Neckbones (And Some Home Fries) [Dan the Automator Remix] by Willie Bobo. It's the song that plays after Well That Was Easy.

UPDATE: oh god. youtube wants me to start making bank off this video. too bad it's chock full of licensed music. and i have no idea where the original project files for this thing are, so i probably couldn't take 'em out. it was high school! ages ago!

guess it'll just have to be for the good of the people. haha.

BUT if i start making new videos of the educational sort... what should they be on? do tell.

Although Milgram's study and others like it generally can be said to offer a reliable description of the phenomenon, very little can be drawn by way of explanation. The various interpretations offered (although, if I'm wrong in this by all means correct me) have not thus far offered any explanation as to the underlying reason why some administerred the fatal volrage and why others didn't

[neokimchi]

There were those theories like the agentic state theory, but your point's pretty valid. Explanations are somewhat difficult to pinpoint.

Why you say there was no real learning? I mean it was about how obedient you can become under pressure. This tells a lot about who you really are and how tough you can be.

[neokimchi]

I meant that the experiment didn't actually measure what the experimenters claimed to the subjects it measured: the effect of punishment on learning.

Of course there was plenty to be learned from the experiment's results.

One more comment in regards to the flaw of Milgram's expirements: The social conditioning of the subjects were not factored in the test results, thus making any evidence (of inate selfish theory) proported from this expiriment dubious. Nothing was mentioned of the 40% who refused to inflicted pain. No mention of a debriefing interview on why people went one way or the other.

The post presentation of these expiriments seems skewed toward defending the "survival of the fittest theory" of people.

[neokimchi]

You do bring up a good point about the 40% who refuse to inflict pain. There's really not much information about them out there. I agree that information about those subjects would be important.
