In a series of ingenious studies, social psychologist Stanley Milgram, examined the impact of modern society on the psychology of individuals.
His most famous experiment saw participants commanded to administer painful electric shocks to supposed fellow volunteers and their compliance raised serious questions about the limits of moral autonomy and the ability of individuals to resist authority.
Lunt explores the historical and cultural setting of Milgram's social psychology, his intellectual roots and the continuing relevance of his research today. This authoritative introduction is essential reading for all those interested in the psychology of power and obedience.
Industry Reviews
"An impressive and scholarly examination of Milgram's work and intellectual legacy. Deserving of a place on the bookshelf of any academic who cares about the past, present and future of social psychology." - 'Richard Wiseman, Professor at the University of Hertfordshire and author of Quirkology and The Luck Factor
