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.

Which of the following illustrates the role played by normative social influence in the obedience of Milgram’s participants?A.Men and women exhibited similar levels of obedience in the research.B.When other “teachers” (actually confederates) refused to continue with the study, participants’ obedience rates declined significantly.C.Many participants showed signs of nervous laughter during the course of the study.D.The “learner” (actually a confederate) announced before the study began that he had a pre-existing heart condition.

In Stanley Milgram's experiment on the role of obedience, the .......... Was the subject who was being observed and did not know what the experiment was about or what was being studied;Question 12Select one:a.Teacherb.Experimenterc.Learnerd.Doge.Milgram

Milgram's obedience experiments primarily explored which principle? Social Validation Authority Scarcity Reciprocation

What has been noted about the Milgram-type studies?A.Ethical guidelines have made it impossible to continue these types of studies.B.Obedience levels have remained similar across the studies.C.Obedience levels have declined consistently since Milgram’s original study.D.The level of obedience found in Milgram’s original study could not be replicated.

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
