What were the basic results of psychologist Stanley Milgram's original obedience study?Group of answer choicesOnly about one-third of the subjects continued to obey the experimenter and administer shocks beyond the 350-volt level.All of theseThe majority of the subjects refused to continue the experiment when the learner first protested that the shocks were painful at the 90-volt level.Despite hearing protests from the “learner” in another room, two-thirds of the subjects continued to administer shocks all the way to the full 450-volt level.

In Milgram's original obedience experiment, subjects who were assigned the role of “teacher”:Group of answer choicesquickly figured out the learner was not really getting shockedwere told to stop whenever they felt the slightest discomfort about what they were doing.seemed to enjoy shocking the learner, especially at the higher voltage levels.were deceived about the real role of the “learner” and the level of shock that he actually received.

Which of the following is NOT an explanation that Milgram and others have emphasized in interpreting the basic results of his obedience studies? a. The conditions of the experiment caused people's aggressive tendencies, which are normally suppressed, to rise to the surface. b. Volunteers came into the experiment as products of a social world that trains people to obey legitimate authorities and to play by the rules. c. The experimenter acted in a self-assured manner and indicated that he was responsible if anything went wrong. d. The experimenter was closer than the learner, and hence a more potent social influence on the subject.

In Milgram's controversial study on obedience, nearly __________ of the participants were willing to administer what appeared to be lethal electrical shocks to another person because they were told to do so by an authority figure.Question 8Select one:a.1/3b.2/3c.3/4d.4/5

According to Professor Plous, the best available evidence suggests that if Stanley Milgram's controversial research on obedience could be conducted today, the level of obedience found would probably be _______ what Milgram found in the 1960s.1 pointmuch lower thansomewhat higherapproximately the same assomewhat lower than12.Question 12In a study on obedience, Charles Hofling and his associates (1966) found that when an unknown doctor asked nurses to administer twice the maximum dose of an unknown drug, _______ nurses obeyed the doctor's order. Hofling et al. also found that when other nurses and student nurses were asked to predict whether they would follow the doctor's order in such a situation, _______ predicted that they would refuse.1 pointnearly all; nearly allvery few; nearly allnearly all; very fewvery few; very few13.Question 13As explained by Professor Jerry Harvey in an assigned video, the Abilene Paradox occurs when group members are in _______ with one another and _______.1 pointagreement; believe they're smarter than other group membersconflict; don't care about the needs of other group membersagreement; fear separation from the groupconflict; believe they're smarter than other group members14.Question 14Although the Stanford Prison Experiment is a classic study in social psychology, it took place before modern-day ethical guidelines. Indeed, if Professor Plous were to propose a "Wesleyan Prison Experiment" identical to the original study, his university's Institutional Review Board (IRB) would reject the proposal, because modern IRBs never approve studies that:1 pointGenerate negative emotions among participants Lead people to behave in ways that they later regrettedDo not allow participants to choose their role (prisoner or guard)Do not obtain "informed consent" from the participants15.Question 15Correlational research is very useful, but it cannot tell us with certainty whether a score on one variable tends to:1 pointCause a change in the score on another variableRemain unchanged when the score on another variable increasesIncrease when the score on another variable increasesDecrease when the score on another variable increases

Which of the following was NOT shown to DECREASE obedience in the Milgram shock experiments?Question 5AnswerWhen the participant had to touch the learner to administer the punishment When the learner was in the same room as the experimenter When the participant believed the instructions came from another participant rather than an experimenter When the participants were male as compared to female When the participant saw others refuse to press the lever
