Based upon what I found after a careful review of the recent Milgram
replication study (and other pubs), it is not true that participants
"claimed they were traumatized for life".

I think the debunking Stephen is asking about involved claims made
on the "25 Scariest" site including this sentence about the Milgram
study: "Later, many participants claimed they were traumatized for
life after discovering that they were capable of such inhumane
behavior." My understanding is that that did not happen.

I was just going to complain that the author of that website,
Annalee Newitz, ripped off The Chronicle of Higher Education.
Oops! It seems the CHE got it from that website. What I clicked
on on the Chronicle site took me to her website but I didn't
notice. Good thing I didn't leave a nasty comment for Annalee.
Jim also said:
claims about at least some of the examples have
been debunked: e.g., Milgram experiment as noted by one
commenter
I thought that Milgram held up pretty well despite difficulties in
repeating it for ethical reasons. Perhaps Jim could elaborate on
this debunking.
