How to explain the results of Milgram's Obedience Experiment

The video discusses Stanley Milgram's 1961 obedience study, where 65% of participants administered a 450-volt shock to a learner. It explores the influence of authority, social conditioning, and the agentic state on obedience. The study's ethical concerns led to Milgram's suspension from the APA and denial of tenure at Harvard. The video also covers sampling techniques and ecological validity, concluding with a reflection on the study's impact on social psychology.

Discuss the implications of opportunity sampling in the context of Milgram's research.

Explain the concept of 'cognitive dissonance' as it relates to the participants in Milgram's study.
