Obedience to Authority: An Experimental View is a 1974 book by social psychologist Stanley Milgram concerning a series of experiments on obedience to authority figures he conducted in the early 1960s. This book provides an in-depth look into his methods, theories and conclusions.

Background

Main article: Milgram experiment

Between 1961 and 1965, Milgram carried out a series of experiments at Yale University in which subjects were instructed to administer what they thought were progressively more painful electric shocks to another human, to determine to what extent people would obey orders even when they knew them to be painful and immoral. The experiments came under heavy criticism at the time, but were ultimately vindicated by the scientific community.

In 1963, Milgram published The Behavioral Study of Obedience[1] in the Journal of Abnormal and Social Psychology, which included a detailed record of the experiment. The record emphasized the tension the experiment brought to its participants, but also the extreme strength of the subjects' obedience: all participants had given electric shocks of 300 volts or more.[1]
