The 2009 Milgram Experiment: Burger's Obedience and Ethics

Milgram's Obedience Study Replication 2009 explored modern obedience levels through Burger's ethical adaptation, revealing consistent human behavior patterns across decades.

Key findings:

  • Base condition showed 70% full obedience rate
  • Women demonstrated 73% obedience versus men's 65%
  • Burger's study on obedience and responsibility introduced significant ethical improvements
  • Model refusal condition yielded 63.3% obedience
  • Individual differences showed minimal impact except in base condition
  • Screening process significantly enhanced ethical considerations

Page 2: Evaluation of Burger's Study

The evaluation reveals both strengths and weaknesses of Burger's replication. The study demonstrated high reliability through careful adherence to Milgram's original methodology while incorporating modern ethical considerations.

Highlight: The study's enhanced ethical protocols included comprehensive screening processes and reduced voltage levels.

Example: The age range expansion (20-81 versus Milgram's 20-50) potentially affected result generalizability.

Definition: Generalisability refers to how well the study's findings can be applied to the broader population.

Quote: "Many participants either stopped before 150V or carried on until the end, deemed an important turning point - the point of no return."

Vocabulary: Scientific credibility - The extent to which research methods and findings are considered trustworthy and valid in the scientific community.

Page 1: Burger's 2009 Replication Study

The study aimed to replicate Milgram's Variation #5 under modern ethical guidelines while examining personality influences on obedience. The procedure closely mirrored Milgram's original setup, with participants administering shocks to confederates through multiple-choice questions.

Highlight: The study introduced crucial ethical improvements, including participant screening and reduced maximum voltage levels.

Definition: Base Condition refers to the standard experimental setup without additional variables, resulting in 70% full obedience.

Example: The model refusal condition involved a confederate refusing to continue at 150V, demonstrating how social influence affects obedience.

Vocabulary: Confederate - An actor working with researchers, posing as a genuine participant.

Quote: "Going by his partial replication, the same results could be found today than in 1963 + 74."

The app is very easy to use and well designed. I have found everything I was looking for so far and have been able to learn a lot from the presentations! I will definitely use the app for a class assignment! And of course it also helps a lot as an inspiration.

This app is really great. There are so many study notes and help [...]. My problem subject is French, for example, and the app has so many options for help. Thanks to this app, I have improved my French. I would recommend it to anyone.

Samantha Klich

Wow, I am really amazed. I just tried the app because I've seen it advertised many times and was absolutely stunned. This app is THE HELP you want for school and above all, it offers so many things, such as workouts and fact sheets, which have been VERY helpful to me personally.

I think it’s very much worth it and you’ll end up using it a lot once you get the hang of it and even after looking at others notes you can still ask your Artificial intelligence buddy the question and ask to simplify it if you still don’t get it!!! In the end I think it’s worth it 😊👍 ⚠️Also DID I MENTION ITS FREEE YOU DON’T HAVE TO PAY FOR ANYTHING AND STILL GET YOUR GRADES IN PERFECTLY❗️❗️⚠️

Knowunity is the BEST app I’ve used in a minute. This is not an ai review or anything this is genuinely coming from a 7th grade student (I know 2011 im young) but dude this app is a 10/10 i have maintained a 3.8 gpa and have plenty of time for gaming. I love it and my mom is just happy I got good grades

Not only did it help me find the answer but it also showed me alternative ways to solve it. I was horrible in math and science but now I have an a in both subjects. Thanks for the help🤍🤍

The app's just great! All I have to do is enter the topic in the search bar and I get the response real fast. I don't have to watch 10 YouTube videos to understand something, so I'm saving my time. Highly recommended!

In school I was really bad at maths but thanks to the app, I am doing better now. I am so grateful that you made the app.

I found this app a couple years ago and it has only gotten better since then. I really love it because it can help with written questions and photo questions. Also, it can find study guides that other people have made as well as flashcard sets and practice tests. The free version is also amazing for students who might not be able to afford it. Would 100% recommend

Best app if you're in Highschool or Junior high. I have been using this app for 2 school years and it's the best, it's good if you don't have anyone to help you with school work.😋🩷🎀
