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 20−81versusMilgram′s20−5020-81 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.

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.

Just amazing. Let's me revise 10x better, this app is a quick 10/10. I highly recommend it to anyone. I can watch and search for notes. I can save them in the subject folder. I can revise it any time when I come back. If you haven't tried this app, you're really missing out.

This app has made me feel so much more confident in my exam prep, not only through boosting my own self confidence through the features that allow you to connect with others and feel less alone, but also through the way the app itself is centred around making you feel better. It is easy to navigate, fun to use, and helpful to anyone struggling in absolutely any way.

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!

I know a lot of apps use fake accounts to boost their reviews but this app deserves it all. Originally I was getting 4 in my English exams and this time I got a grade 7. I didn’t even know about this app three days until the exam and it has helped A LOT. Please actually trust me and use it as I’m sure you too will see developments.
