Milgram, Stanley

   Also found in: Encyclopedia 0.07 sec.

Milgram, Stanley (1933–1984)

US social psychologist. He is best known for the study described in Obedience to Authority: An Experimental View (1974), in which research subjects were ordered to administer ‘electric shocks’ of varying intensity to people in another room; most did so on command, despite the simulated pain and apparent danger to their fellow subjects. Milgram was born in New York City. He studied at Harvard and Princeton universities and taught at Yale (1960–63) and the City University of New York (1967–84).
