In 1963 a psychologist named Stanley Milgram conducted one of the largest and most controversial experiments of all time. Milgram tested Yale students to find out people's obedience to an authority figure. The subjects, who did not know that the shocks would not hurt, had to shock a "student" when the "student" answered the questions incorrectly. Milgram was criticized for this experiment, which many proclaimed to be unethical. This Milgram experiment spurred the creation of numerous responsive articles. Two articles responding to this experiment are written by Diane Baumrind and Ian Parker. These two authors attempt to review the methods, results and ethical issues of Milgram's experiment. “Review of Stanley Milgram's Obedience Experiments” was written by Diane Baumrind. Baumrind is a psychologist at the Human Development Institute at the University of California, Berkley. In his article, Baumrind attacks multiple aspects of Milgram's experiment. He immediately states that the location of the experiment played an important role in the results produced (Baumrind 225). He goes on to say that the teacher's lack of emotion and concern caused severe stress to the subjects. Baumrind also questions Milgram's alleged attempts to allow subjects to leave in a clear and complete state of mind (Baumrind 227). The effects the experiment would have on the subjects afterwards are also a concern for Baumrind. Finally, Baumrind demands that subjects be fully informed of the experiment in which they will participate (Baumrind 229). However, Baumrind is not the only author to review the experiment. Ian Parker, "Obedience", writes about the consequences experienced by Milgram himself after the results of hi...... half of the paper ......ive behind his article. Despite all this, Baumrind and Parker had consensus thoughts about the experiment, indicating that there was, in fact, a problem with some aspects of the experiment.
