Roneé Gladden Daven Salmi PSY 328 Module Five Activity Template First, read the Shapiro Library articles, Psychologist Stanley MilgramBegins Obedience- to-Authority Experiments , Stanford Prison Experiment , and Moving Personality Beyond the Person-Situation Debate . Next, complete this template by replacing the bracketed text with the relevant information. Your responses should each be about 2 to 5 sentences in length. • Analyzing Psychological Experiments o Describe the major takeaways from the Milgram experiments. • The major takeaways that I assessed from Milgram’s experiments is that he was interested in knowing how many adults would inflict pain on another individual just because an authority figure demands it. He observed one individual choose to agree with the majority during an experiment he knew the majority was wrong in. Milgram decided to conduct an experiment where he’d have an Experimenter demand a Teacher (Subject) to perform electrical shock volts into a Learner. All the while, the learner is really an actor and is not being shocked at all. The experiment is to see if teachers will continue shocking the learners when demanded no matter how painful the shock becomes. Upon learning the results of the first experiment was 65 percent of participants administering the full range of voltage, he decided to conduct twenty variations of this experiment to determine results. o Describe the major takeaways from the Stanford prison experiment. • The major takeaway that I got from the Stanford prison experiment was that guards dissociated from the experiment and began to mistreat the inmates. Lurigio once stated “The students became guards and inmates through a simple change of uniform (2019). Once students were given the opportunity to enact what they believed officials were allowed to do, new personas developed. o Describe the ethical implications of these experiments. • Ethical implications in Milgram’s experiment were that he was scrutinized and criticized for developing such an inhumane experiment and withholding information about what the experiment truly was. Milgram told subjects that they were participating in an experiment on learning and memory (Davidson, 1961). This cost Milgram his tenure at Harvard. • Ethical implications in the Stanford prison experiment were that the students did not give their permission to participate in the Stanford Prison experiment.

• Implications of the Person-Situation Debate o Describe examples of behaviors that highlight trait-based stability in the workplace or school. • An example of a behavior that highlights trait-based stability in the workplace consists of an individual being highly dependable. For example, Connie comes to work every day early to set up her workspace for work, make copies for the day, and begin on her tasks for the day. Connie is able to submit all of her reports on time and even help a coworker or two with their tasks. Connie’s team members can always rely on her to complete her tasks accurately and timely, especially if a group assignment is given. o Describe examples of behaviors that highlight personality states in the workplace or school. • An example of a behavior that highlights personality states in school would be an introverted child who typically keeps to themselves, prefers to do individual activities and work alone, is placed in a group to work on a project. The introverted individual understands the dynamic of group work and exhibits extraverted behaviors, like engaging in conversation and interacting with others, and being outgoing. o Explain how your perspectives on your interactions with others might be impacted by the person-situation debate. • I believe situations I have been in when interacting with others has made me lean more towards the situation-centered perspective because I believe that situations tend to have an impact on people’s behaviors and actions. For example, I have a friend who is always late. No matter what. To any event, job, place, etc. I believe external factors play a major role in her time management, such as traffic lights, and busy schedule that clashes with her ability to arrive on time. o In Module Three, you were asked the extent to which you thought personality could change over time. Explain whether your response to that question has changed or stayed the same as a result of studying the person-situation debate. • I stand by my argument in module 3 when I stated that personality could change over time due to our life experiences, circumstances, and environment. I have learned that there are so many factors in our lives that shape us to be the people we are, but that external and internal factors also can change our personality and who we know ourselves to be. 1
