Figure 14.9: Giving a shock while in close proximity to the learner In one of Milgram’s experiments, subjects were required to hold the learner’s arm on the shock plate each time a shock was given. Fewer obeyed in this condition than when the learner received shocks in another room, out of sight of the subjects.
