The Milgram experiment was a series of seminal 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. Milgram first described his research in 1963 in an article published in the Journal of Abnormal and Social Psychology,and later discussed his findings in greater depth in his 1974 book, Obedience to Authority: An Experimental View.

The experiments began in July 1961, three months after the start of the trial of Nazi war criminal Adolf Eichmann in Jerusalem. Milgram devised the experiments to answer this question: "Could it be that Eichmann and his million accomplices in the Holocaust were just following orders? Could we call them all accomplices?"

读后感

1 1960年，纳粹头目阿道夫.艾希曼被以色列特工抓获，押往耶路撒冷接受审迅。艾希曼是纳粹德国高官，曾在二战期间，犯下了滔天罪行。他签发了很多骇人听闻的文件，包括对数万犹太人执行死亡命令，可以说是一个双手沾满了鲜血的刽子手。 那这样一位恶贯满盈的战犯站在军事法庭审...  

在天朝这个环境下，我不清楚有多少人是依靠着体制吃饭，至少我是体制内的最底层一员。 最大的威权体制下，我们丧失梦想，不得不做一些选择，因为我们如果胆敢违背权威，生存都会变得特别难。 我们没有自己的标签，只会是某某的儿子，某某的手下。我们代理着父母或者是领导的...

后面的介绍是从从维基上扒过来的，看了一遍，很多是从书上翻译的，大体准确。 在学校图书馆里还有很老的黑白纪录片，就是他们当时拍摄的，看得真是毛骨悚然。实验者身强体壮，明明心中紧张万分，却还要故作镇定的按下按钮，不停的回望白大褂的实验员，实验员只是几句冷冰冰的“...  

作者设计了一系列逻辑严谨的心理学实验来探究人们在权威之下执行伤害他人的实验，最后得出的结论是绝大多数人尽管知道自己的行为是在伤害他人、是不符合道德，也不符合善良正义，但是最终仍然会服从权威犯下恶行。 作者通过多种条件的实验来证明该实验的普遍性和说服力，也从多...
