Compare any new obedience study to Milgrims obedience experiment.
Social psychologists from SWPS University of Social Sciences and Humanities in Poland replicated a modern version of the Milgram experiment and found results similar to studies conducted 50 years earlier. The researchers recruited 80 participants (40 men and 40 women), with an age range from 18 to 69, for the study. Participants had up to 10 buttons to press, each a higher "shock" level. They found that 90% of the people were willing to go to the highest level in the experiment. The results show that the level of participants' obedience towards instructions is similarly high to that of the original Milgram studies.
