This rich volume explores the complex problem of obedience and
conformity, re-examining Stanley Milgram's famous electric shock
study, and presenting the findings of the most extensive empirical
study on obedience toward authority since Milgram's era. Dolinski
and Grzyb refer to their own series of studies testing various
hypotheses from Milgram's and others' research, examining
underlying obedience mechanisms as well as factors modifying the
degree of obedience displayed by individuals in different
situations. They offer their theoretical model explaining subjects'
obedience in Milgram's paradigm and describe numerous examples of
the destructive effect of thoughtless obedience both in our daily
lives as well as in crucial historical events, stressing the need
for critical thinking when issued with a command. Concluding with
reflections on how to prevent the danger of destructive obedience
to authority, this insightful volume will be fascinating reading
for students and academics in social psychology, as well as those
in fields concerned with complex social problems.
