Problem 9Multiple Choice

Prior to conducting his famous obedience experiments, Stanley Milgram asked a group of psychologists, college students, and other adults to estimate the proportion of participants who would fully comply with the experimenter's orders to deliver the maximum shock. What did these groups predict?

Psychologists predicted that nearly all participants would refuse to administer any shocks, while students believed about half would comply.

Psychologists and laypeople both predicted that only a very small fraction, such as one in a thousand, would deliver the maximum shock.

Psychologists predicted that most participants would administer the maximum shock, but students thought almost none would.

Psychologists and students both predicted that about 60 percent of participants would deliver the highest shock.
