We all know about the experiment which demonstrated that we are more likely to do something awful if we are told to do so by a figure of authority.
I never knew the name of the experiment and I didn't even know if it was known as the XXX theory / experiment / syndrome or what. Whenever I wanted to refer to it I always had to explain it.
But now I know: It is called the Stanley Milgram's Obedience Experiment, or the Milgram Experiment. It seems that the experiment was done at Yale U between 1961 and 1974.
I would like to read the book by Thomas Blass: "The Man who Shocked the World: The Life and Legacy of Stanley Milgram"
