AO3 - Agentic State

• Milgram (1963) found that 65% of the participants went to the maximum 450 volts, supporting the agency theory.
• Hofling (1966) found that 21/22 nurses would administer a dangerous drug to a patient, just because a doctor ordered them to do so.
• Rank & Jacobson (1977) criticise the agency theory as they found 16/18 nurses would disobey a doctor's orders if it meant harming a patient.
