概要
The Man Who Flipped 450V: Why Ordinary People Obeyed

The basement device at Yale had thirty switches rising to 450 volts, and when tested in 1961, 65% of ordinary people delivered the highest shock - yet every participant had passed 300 volts first. What hidden detail discovered in 2012 complicates the story and raises the question: what did Milgram never make public?

In this episode, we present the original setup, procedure, and startling results of the Yale obedience study, and introduce the later re-examination of the data that challenges the simple reading of those numbers. How does that undisclosed finding change what we thought we knew about obedience?

Person: Stanley Milgram
Date: 1961
Location: Yale University basement
Event: Obedience to authority experiment with shock generator
Author: Gina Perry (re-examination in 2012)

- The shock generator had thirty switches in a horizontal row, increasing in 15-volt increments from 15V to 450V.
- Final three switches were unlabeled and marked only with "XXX" without voltage descriptions.
- Fourteen of the first forty subjects laughed nervously during the sessions; Milgram recorded this laughter as distress.
- Every participant who continued had already delivered at least 300 volts before proceeding further.
- The experiment included one real 45-volt sample shock administered to the teacher before the session began.
