(Writing yet another paper on Stanly Milgram) I can’t believe the Harvard Dept of Psychology websites bio on Stanley Milgram is like. 45% factual errors by volume.
#the study wasn’t inspired by arendt’s book. the book didn’t come out till 63 and the experiments ran from 61-62#which btw. the experiments ran from 61-62 not 60#it wasn’t more than 70% obedience rate. even if you find the mean of all the variations it’s like 67% but the ones people actually care abt#and the one you describe here were 62-65%#you could say they were know as the Milgram Experiments but as this is a bio abt Milgram and he Hated that name maybe you should call them#what they were actually called which was the Obedience Experiments#also i like that Harvard is like ‘oh yeah he left Harvard to return to his hometown nyc’ like lol no#he left Harvard bc the notoriety the OE study gave him looked kinda bad so y’all didn’t give him tenure#look I’m not even defending Milgram. He did do Subjects Rights Abuse. big time! but like. why did no one fact check this
