Although some states and cities have passed laws to ban texting and
using handheld phones while driving, there is no current law to ban
all cell phone use while driving. However, according to the
National Safety Council (2009), 28 percent of all crashes—1.6
million per year—are caused by cell phone use and texting by
drivers. The mission of a new national nonprofit organization
called FocusDriven, patterned after Mothers Against Drunk Driving,
is to make phone use while driving as illegal and socially
unacceptable as drunk driving.
Based on the gaps in current research dealing with cell phone use
and texting, describe the variables, populations, and situations
which you would like to see future research address.

1. After reading about the experiments of Milgram, Asch, Zimbardo, and Elliot pick three experiments to analyze and then complete the following for each experiment: In your own words, not copied from an online resource, provide a brief summary of each of the three experiments you picked.
2. What was the original purpose of each of the three experiments, i.e. why did Milgram, Asch, Zimbardo, & Elliot conduct their experiment?
3. What were the results of each experiment, i.e. what, if anything, was discovered about human nature?
4. Were the experiments conducted ethically? Why or Why not? In developing your response to this question think about the following:
a) What did we learned in Module 1 about the ethical code of conduct in conducting psychological research.
b) Does the end justify the means? Essentially, was the research gathered by these experiments more important than making sure they were conducted ethically. We touched on this concept of “end justifying the means” when learning about Kohlberg and Heinz’s Dilemma. Are the results of each experiment relevant to our society today? If so, how? If not, why not?
