Milgrams variation studies

• Variation 7 is where there is telephonic instructions to see if proximity affected obedience
• In variation the 65% obedience to 450 volts dropped to 22.5% while also finding that some lied about administration by giving lower ones.
• In variation 10 milgram experimented with the setting to see if it affected the obedience level
• Instead of Yale uni it was set in a run down office building in the city centre/ industrial with sparsely furnished rooms and they changed the research body to the research associates of Bridgeport
• In variation 10 there was a slight reduction from 65% to 47.5% showing that prestigious does have an effect
• In variation 13 he changed the authority and status by making the ordinary man give orders instead
• Variation 13 was done by have 2 confederates (learner and recording times) and one participant (teacher) the difference was he didn't say what levels of shock to give. The experimenter left the room when on a rig phone call. The 2nd confederate suggested that they should increase the shock level every time answer wrong.
• In variation 13 there was only a 20% obedience level concluding it has a drastic effect on obedience
