In yesterday's lesson we moved from our study of conformity onto the new topic of obedience - the question now is over what factors lead people to obey an 'unjust' order from an authority figure, to do something they don't want to.
The classic experiment is Milgram (1963). Your homework for next Tuesday is to make notes on this, and on two field experiments (conducted in the 'real world') - Bickman (1974) and Hofling (1966).
Here is the presentation on this research - use your textbook too.
