The Relationship

This article analyzes variations in subject perceptions of pain in Milgram’s obedience experiments and their behavioral consequences. Based on an unpublished study by Milgram’s assistant, Taketo Murata, we report the relationship between the subjects’ belief that the learner was actually receiving painful electric shocks and their choice of shock level. This archival material indicates that in 18 of 23 variations of the experiment, the mean levels of shock for those who fully believed that they were inflicting pain were lower than for subjects who did not fully believe they were inflicting pain. These data suggest that the perception of pain inflated subject defiance and that subject skepticism inflated their obedience. This analysis revises our perception of the classical interpretation of the experiment and its putative relevance to the explanation of state atrocities, such as the Holocaust. It also raises the issue of dramaturgical credibility in experiments based on deception. The findings are discussed in the context of methodological questions about the reliability of Milgram’s questionnaire data and their broader theoretical relevance.

Card-sorting performance was a joint function of drive (shock) level and task complexity ( p < .001). Results are discussed in terms of Hull-Spence behavior theory, the narrowed attention hypothesis, and the Yerkes-Dodson hypothesis.

Treatment Interaction

Two experiments investigated the effect of shock intensity on escape learning in a straight alley (Exp. I) or avoidance learning in a one-way shuttle box (Exp. II) in operated control (OC) rats or rats under bilateral spreading depression (BSD). Results of Exp. I using 0.6-, 1.2-, and 2.4-ma. shock indicated no interaction of shock level with cortical treatment and that BSD Ss were inferior to OC Ss. A low level of shock resulted in poorer performance than intense shock. Results of Exp. II using 0.4- and 2.0-ma. shock indicated a shock by cortical treatment interaction. 0.4-ma. BSD Ss were inferior in latency to 2.0-ma. BSD Ss and 0.4-ma. OC Ss.

Experimental shock studies of highland and mare soils in the range of a few to 50 kbar (5 x 109 Pa) have given the following results: (1) Shock, if less than 20 kbar, does not change the magnetic characteristics of the soil substantially and only weak and unstable shock remanence is generated in a field of 0.5 Oe. (2) Shock of between 20 and 50 kbar lithifies the soil and gives rise to stable shock remanence. Acquisition is approximately linear in field for a given shock level. At 30 kbar the acquisition parameter for the highland soil was 10-5 G cm3 g-1 Oe-1. In this range of 20-50 kbar the products of shock are petrologically and magnetically similar to certain regolith breccias. (3) Shock demagnetization preferentially demagnetizes the softer part of thermoremanent magnetization (t.r.m.) and hence makes it relatively harder. The significance of these results is that shock remanence is likely to be the cause of the natural remanent magnetization (n.r.m.) of certain regolith breccias and shock may modify the primary remanence of other samples.

The effects of prior traumatic shock (PS), administered under conditions designed either to maximize (Group 1) or to minimize (Group 2) transfer of trauma-produced learned responses from the treatment to the test chamber, were evaluated in the rat using a hurdle-jump escape situation. Another group (the control group) was not traumatized. 10 days following treatment each group was divided into three subgroups of 0.0-ma., 0.1-ma., and 0.4-ma. test shock, respectively. The performance of the control groups fluctuated systematically with variations in test-shock level while Groups 1 and 2 responded maximally to test shock regardless of intensity. However, under no-test-shock the control group and Group 2 performed identically and significantly more slowly than Group 1. Changes in group variability were similarly related to PS treatment.
