1.5.2.2 Location

• What does the term "Location" refer to in a study?

  Where an experiment or study takes place
• Which controller would be better suited for controlling a device with multiple settings?

  The controller with buttons and lights (L)
• What were participants instructed to administer in Milgram's study?

  Electric shocks
• How do the two controllers differ in their design?

  One has buttons and dials, the other has buttons and lights
• What are the two different controllers shown in the image?

  • Controller with buttons and dials (E)
  • Controller with buttons and lights (L)
• What role did the authority figure play in Milgram's study?

  Supervised and encouraged participants
• What did the authority figure wear in Milgram's study?

  A white coat
• If you wanted to control a device with multiple settings, which controller would you likely use?

  The controller with buttons and lights (L) would likely be used to control a device with multiple settings or options.
• What was the main purpose of Milgram's obedience study?

  • To investigate obedience to authority
  • To understand the limits of personal conscience
  • To explore the effects of situational factors on behavior
• Why might a run-down building affect participants' compliance compared to a prestigious university?

  Perceived importance of location influences decisions
• Why might the participants have been less likely to obey in the run-down office?

  The setting lacked respect and scientific credibility
• How did the laboratory setting at Yale University affect the study's results?

  Increased obedience rates due to authority
• How do the two controllers differ in their design and functionality?

  • The controller with buttons and dials (E) appears to be for controlling time-based functions
  • The controller with buttons and lights (L) appears to be for controlling a device with multiple settings or options
• Where did Milgram conduct an experiment instead of Yale University?

  In a run-down office building
• If an experiment is conducted in a prestigious university, how might participants react?

  They may feel pressured to obey authority
• What was the implication of the office building's setting on obedience?

  People were less likely to obey instructions
• What was the obedience rate in the run-down office during Milgram's experiments?

  48%
• What factor significantly impacts obedience according to Milgram's experiment?

  Location
• How can the setting of an experiment affect participants' behavior?

  It influences their willingness to obey instructions
• How did the change in location affect the experiment's setup?

  It made the setup seem less official
• What letter is shown on the controller with buttons and dials?

  E
• How can a well-organized educational setting affect students?

  It can enhance compliance and learning
• Who was the learner in Milgram's study?

  A person receiving electric shocks
• What connection can be drawn between location credibility and obedience pressure?

  Less credible locations reduce obedience pressure
• If a study is conducted in a prestigious location, what might be expected regarding obedience levels?

  Higher obedience levels
• How did the learner react during the shocks in Milgram's study?

  Expressed pain and distress
• What are the potential advantages and disadvantages of the button and dial controller (E) compared to the button and light controller (L)?

  The button and dial controller (E) may provide more precise control over time-based functions, but the button and light controller (L) may be more intuitive for controlling multiple settings
• What letter is shown on the controller with buttons and lights?

  L
• What was the obedience rate at Yale University in Milgram's experiments?

  65%
• What specific areas should further research explore regarding location's role in obedience?

  • Environmental cues affecting obedience
  • Impact of digital locations on online compliance
  • Cultural differences in obedience influenced by location
• Why is understanding the impact of location on obedience useful?

  It applies to various real-world situations
• How did the location of the experiment affect obedience rates?

  It influenced perceived authority and credibility
• Why did the scientific setting of Yale University affect obedience?

  It made the experiment seem legitimate
• What are the potential advantages and disadvantages of each type of controller design?

  Advantages of buttons and dials (E):

  • Precise control over time-based functions

  Disadvantages of buttons and dials (E):

  • May be less intuitive for controlling multiple settings

  
  

  Advantages of buttons and lights (L):

  • Intuitive for controlling multiple settings

  Disadvantages of buttons and lights (L):

  • Less precise control over time-based functions
• What was the reason for the drop in obedience in the run-down office setting?

  It felt less credible to participants
• What factors influenced obedience rates in Milgram's experiments?

  • Location prestige
  • Perceived authority
  • Credibility of the experiment
• What does the significant decrease in obedience from Yale to the run-down office indicate?

  Setting influences compliance and authority perception
• How did obedience change when Milgram moved the experiment to a run-down office?

  Obedience dropped to 48%
• Why should police conduct interviews in secure locations?

  To encourage honesty and cooperation
• What role do workplace layouts play in employee behavior?

  They influence adherence to rules and productivity
