What was Zimbardo's role in the Stanford Prison study?

Both prison superintendent and lead researcher.

In Zimbardo's study, the role of guard and prisoner was decided:

On a first come, first served basis.

By asking the prisoners to volunteer.

In relation to Zimbardo's prison experiment, which statement best describes the behaviour of the prisoners?

They became more withdrawn and anxious as the study progressed.

They resisted the cruelty of the guards throughout the study.

They made it very difficult for the guards to enforce the rules of the prison.

In Milgram's research experiment, he recruited his participants by:

Placing adverts in local papers and sending out flyers.

Putting up posters in the local neighbourhood.

In Milgram's experiment, three different roles were involved. They were:

Experimenter; Teacher and Learner.

Participant; Confederate and Learner.

Experimenter; Confederate and Learner.

Experimenter; Learner and Mr Wallace.

In Milgram's experiment, the final prod given to the participants was:-

'You have no other choice, you must continue'

'It is absolutely essential that you continue.'

'The experiment requires that you continue'

In term's of Milgram's findings, 65% refers to the proportion of participants who:

Went all the way to the top of the shock scale.

Refused to continue at some point in the experiment.

Disobeyed at the very beginning of the procedure.

Went up to 300v and then refused to continue.

What did Milgram find out about proximity in his variations?

Obedience decreased when the teacher and learner were physically closer.

Obedience increased when the experimenter issued his instructions over the phone.

Most participants obeyed even when they had to put the learner's hand on the shock plate.

The physical proximity of experimenter, teacher and learner had the smallest effect.

What did Milgram find out about location in his variations?

Obedience decreased when the study was conducted in a run-down part of town.

The high status and reputation of Yale University made no difference to obedience.

Most participants still obeyed when the study was moved to a run down office building.

Changing the location had the greatest effect on obedience.

Which of Milgram's variations produced the lowest obedience?

Member of public stands in for experimenter.

Teacher forces learner's hand onto shock plate.

Study is transferred to run-down office block.

Experimenter issues instructions by telephone.

Bickman's study supported Milgram because he found that:

People more often obeyed someone dressed in a security guard's uniform.

Changing to a higher status location increased obedience.

Increasing the distance between the participants reduced obedience.

Reducing the distance between authority and participant increased obedience.

'Believing you are carrying out the wishes of someone else' is a brief description of:

Situational Theory of Obedience

The massacre of unarmed civilians at My Lai by American soldiers can be explained by:

Both the agentic state and legitimacy of authority

Neither the agentic state or the legitimacy of authority

A problem with the agentic state explanation is that:

It can't explain why some people in Milgram's study did not obey the experimenter.

It can't explain why the proportion of people who obeyed the experimenter in Milgram's study was so high.

It is not useful as legitimacy of authority.

Legitimacy of authority is a good explanation of cultural differences in obedience because:

Some cultures are more traditionally respectful of authority than others.

Some cultures are less traditionally respectful of authority than others.

Cultures differ in the way parents raise children to view authority figures.

According to Adorno, people with an authoritarian personality (choose all that apply)

Are highly obedient to authority.

Look with contempt on people of inferior social status.

Favour traditional values and conventional attitudes.

An authoritarian personality develops because a child:

Experiences feelings of hostility towards his or her parents that cannot be expressed directly.

Receives unconditional love and affection from parents.

Is spoiled by his or her parents who do not use any discipline.

Is accepted regardless of his or her achievements.

People with an authoritarian personality are very preoccupied with social status. Therefore they:

Are servile and obedient towards those of higher status.

Feel sympathetic to those of lower status.

Tend not to be impressed by the trappings of high status.

The effects of social support were shown in Asch's studies when:

A dissenter gave the correct answers all of the time.

The size of the majority was increased from 2 to 14.

The task was more difficult because the lines were closer.

The participants wrote their answers down rather than stated them out loud.

Social support helps people to resist social influence because (choose all that apply):

It provides a model of disobedience to be followed.

It breaks the unanimity of the majority.

It frees people to act according to their conscience.

Which of these statements about locus of control is the most accurate?

High internals and high externals are at opposite ends of a continuum.

Everyone is either definitely internal or definitely external.

There is very little difference between moderate internals and moderate externals.

Internals and externals are very similar in their ability to resist social influence.

High internals are more likely to resist social influence than high externals because:

They tend to be more self-confident and to take personal responsibility.

They believe that whatever they do makes no real difference.

They are less likely to have an authoritarian personality.

They have a greater need for social approval from others.

Minority influence is especially effective because:

People are forced to think more deeply about the issues.

It involves people supporting strange and unusual causes.

No one likes to think that they are part of a mindless herd.

A small group of people appears unthreatening.

Consistency in the minority position is effective because:

It increases the amount of interest from the majority.

It highlights the complacency of the majority.

Most people have a need to be consistent in their views.

A bickering minority attracts more attention and support.

Felixibility in the minority position is needed because:

Consistency alone can be a negative thing and off-putting.

It shows that the minority isn't really all that bothered.

It allows the majority to get it's own way so that they are more likely to agree.

The augumentation principle in minority influence refers to:

How members of the minority make personal sacrifices.

How the source of social change is eventually forgotten.

The attention that the minority attracts from the majority.

The deeper processing of the minority view by the majority.

Which of the following statements best describes compliance?

Publicly agreeing with the majority but privately disagreeing.

Conforming to a majority because we want to be accepted or liked

Publicly and privately agreeing with the majority view.

Conforming to a majority because we want to be correct.
