Solution

The classic study in psychology that raised serious ethical concerns is Milgram's obedience study. This study involved participants being instructed to administer what they believed were painful electric shocks to another person, under the direction of an authority figure. The study was designed to investigate obedience to authority, but it raised serious ethical concerns about the psychological harm caused to the participants, who believed they were causing harm to another person.
