Bøger af Stanley Milgram

From the Holocaust to Vietnam and Iraq, this title explains how ordinary people can commit the most horrific of crimes if placed under the influence of a malevolent authority.

In the 1960s, Stanley Milgram carried out a series of experiments in which human subjects were given progressively more painful electro-shocks in a careful calibrated series to determine to what extent people will obey orders even when they knew them to be painful and immoral. This book deals with Milgram's persuasive explanation of his methods.

One of Milgram's many experiments. Still contested by film and TV companies as to how much an effect TV can have on us.Controversial but now strongly vindicated by the scientific community, these experiments attempted to determine to what extent people have constructive and harmful effects after watching television.

Stanley Milgram revolutionised our understanding of human nature with his classic research on obedience to authority - but the obedience experiments form just a small part of an extraordinary wealth of ground-breaking research that made him one of the most important social psychologists of our times.
