- Milgram’s obedience research

1.1.2 Research into obedience, including Milgram’s (1963) research into obedience and three of his variation studies: rundown office block (Experiment 10), telephonic instructions (Experiment 7), ordinary man gives orders (Experiment 13) as they demonstrate situational factors that encourage dissent.

Use - milgram’s obedience research to connect the rule to the data and decision in the question.

This matters because - milgram’s obedience research determines what can be inferred or chosen; begin with the stated conditions and keep the conclusion tied to the evidence.

Example: apply - milgram’s obedience research to one small, clearly defined case, show the key step or comparison, and explain the result in words.

Boundary: - Milgram’s obedience research is not a universal recommendation. Check the syllabus scope, assumptions, units and the limits of the evidence before generalising.
