In a not-well known variant of the Milgram Experiment, three people are in the same room – the man with the clipboard and gray coat and two “testers” administering shocks to the men in the other room, not just one administering shocks. In this variant, when one of the “testers” object to administering further shocks to the subject for giving a wrong answer to his/her questions, the disobedience rate for the other “tester” goes up dramatically. This variant can be described correctly by but which?
Treating individuals' behavior as identical to group behavior is a non-sociological error that people often commit, and as it applies to the Milgram Experiment, when someone stands up to authority and resists, this can impact others who have been otherwise obedient to authority
This variant points out that just going along with authority can be altered potentially by a minority of people providing an alternative moral authority to that presented by the status quo authorities
Humans are just plain too obedient
Standing up to authority can sometimes result in your being retaliated against but the bravest people must sometimes risk that in order to have a chance for others to join them against immoral authority
