was that the study about the people who had to administer electric shocks to people who answered questions wrongly? i learned that in one of my psych classes….

in this case, bad: because inflicting pain, every time answer=wrong, the shock gets stronger (25-400 volts), and since they really believe theyre torturing someone, because they hear someone screaming, i would consider them animals. if i remember correctly, 70% of these administrators of the shocks kept going and didnt refuse to shock someone.

other cases, theyre all dependent on what kind of situation it is!
