The Most Controversial Psych Study Is Repeated — Same Weird Result

The year 1963 saw the publication of what was to become one of the most famous psychology studies ever.

Stanley Milgram’s ‘obedience’ experiments have become the stuff of legend.

What his experiments found was that — when ordered to — 63% of people would give a potentially dangerous electric shock to a stranger.

It was designed to show how easily human beings cow to authority.

Now, Polish psychologists, repeating the study, have found that the results are just as surprising in this century as they were in the last.
