Fun fact, there’s limited replication studies because it was unethical and caused participants a lot of distress. Some IRBs will permit a replication up to a much less severe supposed voltage (150 instead of 450) and the actor pretending to be shocked doesn’t have a full on breakdown into collapse (read the actor transcript, around 330 iirc, they bang on the wall begging to have the experiment stop).
Other fun fact, obedience isn’t universal. The least obedient group as far as I remember were female Australians at only 16% participation rate. There is a much higher rate for folks living in authoritarian states, though.
Depends on who ya sample, haha. Obedience has a lot of factors, and yes, the Trump voters share a lot of those traits, like authortarian thinking and black and white morality; but also not in some regards (agreeableness, for instance, is likely to confirm but that can easily define neolibs too).
Social intelligence, though, less likely as well as self-monitoring and a few other things that I’ll need to check my notes on that I don’t remember off hand. It’s pretty intuitive, you don’t shock people if you have a traits that make you question your actions and would ultimately regret it.
Third fun fact for you, obedience research came out of WW2, and Milgrim in particular was trying to understand why people would follow Nazi orders. Weird how history repeats itself, huh?

I guess US marks high in obedience, then? Considering current administration >.>
