<p>[QUOTE=&quot;moreotherstuff, post: 399129, member: 56&quot;]There was a psychological experiment where the participant was &quot;assistant&quot; to a teacher.&nbsp; The teacher would question a &quot;learner&quot; sitting in an electrified chair.&nbsp; When the learner answered a question incorrectly, the participant would administer a shock to the learner. The power of the shock increased with each incorrect answer.&nbsp; Everything was set up to look very official and very real, and the teacher was very much a sanctioned authority figure going about his ordinary every day work.&nbsp; The learner was his accomplice.&nbsp; No shock was induced, it was all fake, but the learner was acting as though the shocks he was receiving became increasingly painful up to torture levels.&nbsp; The purpose of the experiment was to see how far the participant would go in obeying the teacher, despite inflicting increasing pain on the learner, before rebelling against the teacher&#039;s authority.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
