000646 mentioned an authority figure….part of milgrams study was that if the person telling the guy giving shocks was wearing a lab coat, there was a much higher chance that he would go all the way to 400 volts. if not, and he wasnt as professional looking or authoritative, many wouldnt go as far as 400 volts, they would stop beforehand.
frum not crum: i think that is connected to a different experiment, where a professor gathered his college students and separated them into 2 groups, guards and prisoners. for two weeks, they were supposed to act the roles given to them, but after 6 DAYS, they had to stop the experiment because the “guards” were acting in the cruelest ways towards the “prisoners,” their fellow classmates, many of whom needed therapy afterwards because they didnt feel human anymore.
