- sebwi 6y agoThanks! I wasn't aware about it being a fraud.
- djsumdog 6y agoIt's not. See the other comments.
- djsumdog 6y agoThis article is about the prison experiments. The Milgram experiments are a small paragraph at the bottom and there have been a number of people trying to discredit the experiments. I've watched the original in University with the old black and white tapes. There have been interviews with people years later who said, "I really believe I killed that person in the other room," and furthermore, it has been replicated in other countries by other researchers. We can argue about numbers and percentages, but the idea that you can put up walls of abstraction to get people to kill others is established in other research outside of Milgram.
