OBEYING OR RESISTING AUTHORITY
A Psychological Retrospective
DVD
Connect with a representative to create a custom curriculum for your district.
Echoing the disturbing findings of the infamous Milgram experiment, this ABC News program sets up a psychological test in which an authority figure urges men and women to inflict pain on others.
The program also analyzes the 1971 Stanford prison experiment as well as the 2004 hoax in which a McDonald’s manager and her fiance—directed by a caller impersonating a police officer—strip-searched and abused an employee. Original footage from these occurrences is included, along with present-day commentary from Dr. Philip Zimbardo, who designed the Stanford experiment.
Quantities are limited.
