No because the sample only consists of males. This, we cannot generalise their behaviour to the rest of the population.
Can you replicate Milgram's Study?
Yes, the experiment was well controlled. Many variations of the study have been conducted by Milgram and others, often supporting the finding that we do obey orders.
Are the results applicable to real life events?
Yes, shoes the strength of obedient behaviour in individuals. This has implications for real life settings. e.g. war crimes
Are the results of the study valid?
No, as a lab study lacks validity and it's also an artificial task as it is shocking a victim and this cannot be said in realistic settings.
are there any ethical issues?
Yes, deception- participants were misled: the aim was not to study memory/ learning
