Validity - Milgram (1963) Study

• The study lacks ecological validity, as the setting is artificial and does not reflect real life.
• The task lacks mundane realism, as participants would not ordinarily electrocute another person.
• The study lacks population validity as the sample is not representative of the wider population.
• The study may lack temporal validity, as more recent replications have not provided the same results.
• The study has high internal validity as it was strictly controlled and the manipulation from the authority figure caused changes in the results.
