question 36

Short Answer

What implications do the Milgram experiments have for the concept of leadership?
The Milgram experiments,where subjects were directed by an individual in a lab coat to administer electric shocks to other people when those individuals gave a wrong answer to questions,demonstrates that people in positions of authority are influential in driving others to ethical or unethical behaviors.In the Milgram situation,the individuals giving the INCORRECT answers were actually actors,and the electric shocks subjects thought they were delivering were not real.Yet,the actors pretended the shocks were occurring.About two-thirds of the subjects continued to administer the shocks to INCORRECT answers even when those shocks reached "dangerous" levels.
