 Empathy | Empathy is one of our main motivating factors in why we treat others well. If someone is asked to do something horrible to someone (destructive obedience), if they feel enough empathy they will refuse |
| Qualitative data of Milgram (empathy) | quotes from people who weren't obedient showed that they had high empathy, "i picture myself in his place", "i wouldn't want it done to myself". |
| Burger, Jerry M (empathy) | replication of Milgram. Those high in empathy were a lot less likely to obey. |
| Social support | When someone is given an order by an authority figure, it's easier to disobey if someone else disobeys as well. |
| Milgram (social support) | Teacher given support by 2 other people who refuse to obey, obedience fell to 10% |
| Locus of control | external locus of control - what happens is outside your control, internal locus of control - what happens to you is in your control. People who have internal locus of control are less obedient, people with external locus of control are more obedient. |
| Williams and Warchal (locus of control) | Asch replication. Tested them on their personalities to see whether they had an internal locus of control or an external locus of control. No difference in the conformity of people with internal or external locus of control. More assertive people conformed less. |
| Brehony and Geller (locus of control) | Stereotypical females, stereotypical males and androgynous females and males. Stereotypical females conformed the most, androgynous females conformed least - these had a very internal locus of control. |
