The study soon became one of the most talked about psychological experiments in recent history, making headlines across the world, and resulted in Milgram finding himself in the centre of public attention.

Milgram also informally polled his colleagues and found that they, too, believed very few subjects would progress beyond a very strong shock.

The rates of obedience were very similar to those found in the Milgram study, showing that participants ' tendency to obey has not declined over time.

Certain experiments, such as Milgram ’ s obedience studies ( 1974 ) demonstrate conformity to the experimenter ’ s demands ; however the research paradigm in this experiment is very similar to some employ in deindividuation studies, except the role of the experimenter is usually not taken into account in such instances.

* The second is the agentic state theory, wherein, per Milgram, " the essence of obedience consists in the fact that a person comes to view themselves as the instrument for carrying out another person's wishes, and they therefore no longer see themselves as responsible for their actions.

Burger noted that, " current standards for the ethical treatment of participants clearly place Milgram ’ s studies out of bounds.

Ten years later, in 1974, Milgram published Obedience to Authority and was awarded the annual social psychology award by the AAAS ( mostly for his work over the social aspects of obedience ).

Thus, according to Milgram, the subject shifts responsibility to another person and does not blame himself for what happens.

Milgram developed a technique for measuring how helpful people are to strangers who are not present, and their attitudes toward various groups, called the " lost letter " experiment.

Milgram himself was a consultant for the film, though his personal life did not resemble that of the Shatner character.

In Alan Moore's graphic novel, V for Vendetta, the character Dr. Delia Surridge discusses Milgram's experiment without directly naming Milgram, comparing it with the atrocities she herself had performed in the Larkhill Concentration camps.

* displacing responsibility for the killing onto an authority figure, i. e., the commanding officer and the military hierarchy ( See the Milgram experiment )

Similarly by converting the integration paths to contour integrals one can obtain other formulas for the eta function, such as this generalisation ( Milgram, 2012, formula 2. 9 ) stated to be valid for < math > 0 < c < 1 </ math > and all:

The zeros on the negative real axis are factored out cleanly by making ( Milgram, 2012, formula 3. 9 ) stated to be valid for < math >

The existence theory for elliptic operators, using Gårding's inequality and the Lax – Milgram lemma, only guarantees that a weak solution u exists in the Sobolev space H < sup > k </ sup >.

Milgram is a surname derived from the Yiddish word for pomegranate ( מילגרוים, Milgroim ) and may refer to:

The small-world experiment comprised several experiments conducted by Stanley Milgram and other researchers examining the average path length for social networks of people in the United States.

Mathematician Benoit Mandelbrot, born in Poland and having traveled extensively in Eastern Europe, was aware of the Statist rules of thumb, and was also a colleague of Pool, Kochen and Milgram at the University of Paris during the early 1950s ( Kochen brought Mandelbrot to work at the Institute for Advanced Study and later IBM in the U. S .).

The court in Milgram v. Orbitz granted summary judgment for Orbitz, finding that Section 230 of the Communications Decency Act preempted the state law consumer fraud claims.

Later on, Guido Stampacchia proved his generalization to the Lax – Milgram theorem in in order to study the regularity problem for partial differential equations and coined the name " variational inequality " for all the problems involving inequalities of this kind.

New Jersey Attorney General Anne Milgram announced on August 17 that Tocchet has been sentenced to two years probation in exchange for his plea.

Kerckhoff is one of four academics from Stanford University, along with Gunnar Carlsson, Ralph Cohen, and James Milgram, who were instrumental in developing the controversial California Mathematics Academic Content Standards for the State Board of Education.

The Milgram experiment on obedience to authority figures was a series of notable social psychology experiments conducted by Yale University psychologist Stanley Milgram, which measured the willingness of study participants to obey an authority figure who instructed them to perform acts that conflicted with their personal conscience.

Before conducting the experiment, Milgram polled fourteen Yale University senior-year psychology majors to predict the behavior of 100 hypothetical teachers.

Milgram also polled forty psychiatrists from a medical school and they believed that by the tenth shock, when the victim demands to be free, most subjects would stop the experiment.

Milgram summarized the experiment in his 1974 article, " The Perils of Obedience ", writing:

Later, Prof. Milgram and other psychologists performed variations of the experiment throughout the world, with similar results.

Milgram later investigated the effect of the experiment's locale on obedience levels by holding an experiment in an unregistered, backstreet office in a bustling city, as opposed to at Yale, a respectable university.

There is a little-known coda to the Milgram Experiment, reported by Philip Zimbardo: none of the participants who refused to administer the final shocks insisted that the experiment itself be terminated, nor left the room to check the health of the victim without requesting permission to leave, as per Milgram's notes and recollections, when Zimbardo asked him about that point.

Milgram created a documentary film titled Obedience showing the experiment and its results.

Six years later ( at the height of the Vietnam War ), one of the participants in the experiment sent correspondence to Milgram, explaining why he was glad to have participated despite the stress:

In Obedience to Authority: An Experimental View ( 1974 ), Milgram describes 19 variations of his experiment, some of which had not been previously reported.

In 2002 the British artist Rod Dickinson created The Milgram Re-enactment, an exact reconstruction of parts of the original experiment, including the rooms used, lighting and uniforms.

A partial replication of the Milgram experiment was conducted by British psychological illusionist Derren Brown and broadcast on Channel 4 in the UK in The Heist ( 2006 ).

Another partial replication of the Milgram experiment was conducted by Jerry M. Burger in 2006 and broadcast on the Primetime series Basic Instincts.

In the 2010 French documentary, Le Jeu de la Mort ( The Game of Death ), researchers recreated the Milgram experiment with an added critique of reality television by presenting the scenario as a game show pilot.

The episode was hosted by Eli Roth who got similar results to the original Milgram experiment.

* Obedience is a black-and-white film of the experiment, shot by Milgram himself.

Digging into the psychology of the Lee Harvey Oswald type character, the attorney finds out the " decoy shooter " participated in the Milgram experiment.

* Chip Kidd's 2008 novel The Learners is about the Milgram experiment, and features Stanley Milgram as a character.

He later reenacts a version of the Milgram experiment on Det.

* A Derren Brown special named " The Heist " repeated the Milgram experiment to test whether the participants will take part in a staged heist afterwards.
