experiment 7

• The aim of the experiment was to investigate whether the proximity of the experimenter had an influence on the obedience levels.
• In the experiment, the experimenter gave instructions face to face with a teacher and then left the room to give instructions over the phone.
• The results showed that obedience levels fell from 65% to 22.5% when the maximum shock of 450 volts was given.
• Teachers in the experiment gave low voltage shocks and lied to the experimenter.
• Obedience levels changed upon the experimenter's arrival into the lab.
