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."
