The Milgram Experiments – Insights into Obedience, Authority, and the Darkness within All of Us


Listen Later

“The Milgram Experiment” was an elegantly designed study involving electroshocks, memory games, and an unsuspecting participant conducted by Dr. Stanley Milgram to better understand obedience and authority. 

This study became one of the most significant psychological studies of the 21st century as participants often committed terrible acts such as harming, or even “killing” another human being in the context of an experimental simulation (no one actually was harmed or killed). 

The Milgram Experiments uncovered a dark nature existing inside the vast majority of human beings and provided a psychological context for how authoritarian regimes can “convince” nations to engage in heinous acts. 

Herein, we discuss the background, design, and execution of “The Milgram Experiments”, how the findings relate to WWII, Nazi Germany, and other authoritarian regime atrocities, the lessons these results can teach us in present day, and the darker aspects of human nature.
