The Experiment That Shocked the World
Imagine being asked to deliver increasingly painful electric shocks to a stranger simply because a man in a lab coat tells you to. Would you stop when the victim screams in pain? Or would you continue all the way to potentially lethal levels? In 1961, Yale psychologist Stanley Milgram designed an experiment to test how far ordinary people would go when following orders. The results were so disturbing they forever changed our understanding of human nature. Participants believed they were administering electric shocks to a "learner" (actually an actor) for wrong answers in a memory test. As voltage increased from 15 to 450 volts, the victim's reactions progressed from mild discomfort to agonized screams to disturbing silence. If participants hesitated, the experimenter would simply say, "The experiment requires that you continue." No threats, no incentives-just calm insistence. Before conducting the study, Milgram asked psychiatrists and regular people to predict the outcome. Everyone believed only 1-2% of participants-sadists and psychopaths-would go all the way to the maximum voltage. The reality? A shocking 65% of ordinary Americans-teachers, engineers, housewives-administered what they believed were potentially fatal shocks. Many trembled, sweated profusely, and even experienced seizure-like fits, yet they continued pushing those buttons.
