in front of an instrument panel in a separate room, the teacher administered an electric shock of increasing intensity to the learner for any memory errors. Milgram provided a detailed description that left little doubt that the shock and intensity administered was the result of the teacher’s manipulation of this device. Unbeknownst to the teacher, the learner was part of the trial and responded to the shocks in an increasingly agonizing display. Milgram’s findings, which directly contradicted

The naïve participants were instructed to give electric shocks to another individual, who was the learner, the learner was the confederate but the naïve participant was unaware of this. Each shock would be increased by 15 volts each time a learner would give an incorrect answer to a question. But, no electric shocks were actually given (with the exception of one administered to the real participant to deceive them into thinking the shock machine actually worked). By giving clear indications of distress

teacher (the real participant) was taken into a room next door which contained the electric shock generator, with a row of switches marked from 15 volts to 450 volts. 450 Volts was the most dangerous shock a learner could get.
