Descripción del artículo del vendedor

Paperback. In 1961, a social psychologist at Yale asked ordinary volunteers to administer electric shocks to a stranger - increasing the voltage with each wrong answer, up to a level labelled Danger: Severe Shock. Sixty-five percent continued to the maximum. They were not sadists. They were not ideologically motivated. They were ordinary people who had been given an authority figure, a plausible reason to continue, and a sequence of small escalations that made each step feel like a continuation of the last. Stanley Milgram's obedience experiments remain the most disturbing findings in the history of social psychology. Not because they revealed human evil - but because they revealed human ordinariness. The capacity for harmful compliance is not a property of damaged personalities. It is a feature of normal human social psychology, activated by conditions that are common in every institution human beings have ever built. OBEDIENCE examines those conditions in full - what they are, how they operate, and what the decades of research that followed Milgram's original experiment have confirmed, challenged, and refined. Inside this book: The Milgram experiments - what they actually proved, and what they did notThe agentic state - how authority transfers moral responsibility away from the individualThe foot in the door - why gradual escalation makes each small step feel manageableConformity and Asch - how social pressure overrides the evidence of our own sensesDehumanisation - how language prepares ordinary people to harmThe Holocaust, My Lai, Rwanda, Enron - how the mechanisms operate at historical scaleThe rescuers and the whistleblowers - who refused, and what made refusal possibleWhat the science says about building institutions and individuals that resist This is not a comfortable book. The science it describes is not comfortable. But it is the most important science there is - because the conditions it identifies are not historical relics. They are present in every organisation, institution, and authority structure that exists today. This item is printed on demand.
