I'm putting some notes together on the Milgram study and I can't seem
to find something I thought was measured. I noticed in the Milgram
videos that as subjects moved up the "shock scale", they pressed the
shock buttons for a shorter length of time. Was this amount of time
that the button
Both the latency and the duration of the shocks were measured by Milgram (he
states this in his method section) however on a re-read of the original
article he doesn't refer to this in the results section.
I will continue to search - but at least you're vindicated on thinking that
he did measure i
What I remember from the film is that he showed an event recorder (and a sample
of its record) to display latencies and button-down duration. I don't have
access to the article right now, but as Jamie Davies said, there was no mention
of such data in his results section. DKH

Interesting to think of tabloid journalism. I made my first trip to London last
summer and we stayed at a B&B some distance from the center of London so we had
to ride the tube every day for about 40 minutes each. One of the things that
struck was that there are two tabloids that are freely and

If Milgram was using an event recorder (which is consistent with
apparatus technology at that time) then one is talking about
yards of paper to measure and convert to shock durations,
latencies, and progressions rates through the sequence for a

No, no - you're not the only one who likes fiction, Carol. I just finished
_The School on Heart's Content Road_ by Carolyn Chute which was every bit as
good as the reviews suggested. I can also recommend _Company of Liars_ by
Karen Maitland (a kind of medieval mystery set in southern England), and
