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

*" Authority ", an episode of Law & Order: Special Victims Unit, features Merrit Rook, a suspect played by Robin Williams, who employs the strip search prank call scam, identifying himself as " Detective Milgram ".

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

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.

The experiments are often associated with the phrase " six degrees of separation ", although Milgram did not use this term himself.

Although Milgram himself never used the phrase " six degrees of separation ", these findings are likely to have contributed to its widespread acceptance.

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.

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:

Milgram argued that the ethical criticism provoked by his experiments was because his findings were disturbing and revealed unwelcome truths about human nature.

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.

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

Stanley Milgram ( August 15, 1933 – December 20, 1984 ) was an American social psychologist.

Milgram was influenced by the events of the Nazi Holocaust to carry out an experiment that would demonstrate the relationship between obedience and authority.

Stanley Milgram was born in 1933 to a Jewish family in New York City, the child of a Romanian-born mother, Adele ( née Israel ), and a Hungarian-born father, Samuel Milgram.

Milgram excelled academically and was a great leader among his peers.

Most likely because of his controversial Milgram Experiment, Milgram was denied tenure at Harvard after becoming an assistant professor there.

Milgram influenced numerous psychologists including Alan C. Elms, who was Milgram's first graduate assistant in the study of obedience.

Milgram died on December 20, 1984 of a heart attack in New York, the city in which he was born.

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 ).

Milgram became very notorious for this tactic, and his experiment was soon classed as highly unethical as it caused stress to the participants in the study.

When asked about the film, Milgram told one of his graduate students, Sharon Presley, that he was not happy with the film and told her that he did not want his name to be used in the credits.

The concept was first introduced by Paul Milgram.

Schreiber was born Isaac Liev Schreiber in San Francisco, California, the son of Heather ( née Milgram ) and Tell Schreiber, a stage actor and director.

By the time Liev was four, he was living with her on the fourth floor of a dilapidated walkup at First Avenue and First Street in New York City ( his half brothers from her first marriage were with their father in a duplex on Central Park West ), and he was the object of a fierce custody battle, which bankrupted his maternal grandfather, Alex Milgram.

* 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.

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.

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.

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

He replicated this finding in his own research, as in one of his experiments, he found that when watching portions of the original Milgram studies on film, participants placed less responsibility on those punishing the learner when they scored high on measures of authoritarianism.
