What Makes a Person a Perpetrator? The Intellectual, Moral, and Methodological Arguments for Revisiting Milgram's Research on the Influence of Authority
In this article, we outline the rationale for reexamining Milgram's explanation of how ordinary people can become perpetrators of atrocity. We argue, first, that any consideration of these issues cannot ignore the impact of Milgram's ideas in psychology, in other disciplines such as history, and in society at large. Second, we outline recent research in both psychology and history which challenges Milgram's perspective—specifically his “agentic s…
The Explanatory Value of Milgram's Obedience Experiments
A contemporary appraisal of the explanatory value of the obedience experiments is presented, focusing upon a sample of recent generalizations linked to Milgram's theoretical interpretation. Processes emphasized include justification, the agentic shift, dehumanization, and resistance. These constructs have helped explain diverse phenomena in business ethics and corporate corruption, harmful obedience in legal practice, and whistleblowing, in addit…
Capitanes del Itzá
Poco antes de morir, Eric Thompson dirigió mi atención a una fascinante colección de copias a todo color, de pinturas murales de Chichén Itzá, Yucatán. Estos dibujos formaron parte del legado que Adela C. Breton hizo al City Museum (Museo de la Ciudad), Bristol, Inglaterra. En 1972 el Director del City Museum, Sr. Nicholas Thomas, llamó a Thompson a bristol para que examinara la colección, que la entonces conservadora de antropología, doctora Joa…

The Social Psychology of Good and Evil
This text brings together an array of distinguished scholars to explore key concepts and findings pertaining to some of the most fundamental issues in social life: the conditions under which people are kind and helpful to others or, conversely, under which they commit harmful, even murderous, acts. The social contexts of good and evil behaviors are thoroughly examined, as are the influences of personality and cultural factors. Representing establ…

Constructions of the Obedience Experiments
The significance of the Milgram obedience experiments resides inevitably in the constructions of these studies—in the meaning and interpretations that this research holds for students and researchers. This paper reviews these constructions, with an emphasis upon the domains of relevance that have been associated with the obedience experiments. Considered first are issues bearing on the internal validity of the obedience paradigm. A brief historic…
Perspectives on Obedience to Authority
The experiments of Stanley Milgram on obedience to authority have achieved a truly remarkable visibility, one that is rare in the social sciences. Although conducted over 30 years ago, Milgram's research is currently one of the most widely cited programs of studies in psychology. From their inception, the obedience studies have also been controversial. For many, they reveal something very illuminating about human nature. They have also been, howe…
The attitude polarization phenomenon
Four studies examined the generality of attitude polarization (C. G. Lord, L. Ross, & M. R. Lepper, 1979). Biased assimilation of essays on 2 controversial issues was substantial and correlated with reported attitude change. Polarization was observed for reported attitude change on capital punishment and generally stronger in Ss with extreme than moderate attitudes. Polarization was not indicated in a pre-post measurement design. For affirmative …
The Carved Stela in Tomb 5, Suchilquitongo, Oaxaca, Mexico
This study analyzes the imagery and writing carved on a “genealogical register” found in an elaborate tomb recently discovered at the northern end of the Valley of Etla in Oaxaca. Known as Tomb 5, the elaborate mausoleum contains architecture, sculpture, and murals pertaining to Period IIIb in the Valley of Oaxaca sequence. The carved stone inserted into the tomb at a later date, during Period IV, clearly establishes lines of descent from a vener…
Informational Source, Implicational Value, and the Attribution of Attitudes
Perceivers were asked to integrate two contradictory pieces of information when making an attribution, each piece varying in its implicational relationship to the attitude to be inferred. One source of information, supplied by the target person, was a set of attitude responses, which were either strongly or weakly predictive of the target's attitude. A second source of information, supplied by a third person, was in the form of an attribution bas…

Reactions to the Patricia Hearst Case
Two major purposes of this study were (a) to examine attributions of causality in the Patricia Hearst (P.H.) case and their relation to other relevant judgments and (b) to examine personality impressions of P.H. at three phases in the chronology of the case. Subjects were presented with a detailed synopsis of the case. It was anticipated and later verified that there would be considerable individual differences in reactions to this case. Subjects…

On the Limits of Symbolic Interpretation in Anthropology [and Comments and Reply]
Symbolic readings of ritual acts rely on a distinction between the symbolic and the instrumental that is hard to sustain. In order that we take public lectures and academic papers-which are certainly ritual acts-intellectually seriously, it is enough that they not be obviously false. A further argument against reading them symbolically is that the symbolic reading involves projection of hidden meanings which have not been intentionally put there.…

The birds of Quetzalpapalotl
There are major contextural differences between the two bird forms carved on the pillars of the Acosta reconstruction of the Quetzalpapalotl courtyard. The frontal bird on the west side and its distinctive border decorations suggest differences of meaning from the profile bird representation which occupies the remaining three sides. Séjourné's argument that the carvings represent two views of the same bird is refuted in the light of careful visua…

Psychological Stress as a Determinant of Cognitive Complexity
In an exploratory study of the situational generality of cognitive complexity (CC), Ss were administered a modification of Kelly's Role Construct Repertory Test under non-stress or stress instructions. The social role-figures on the complexity measure were also divided into socially close and distant subgroups. The results supported previous research indicating greater CC toward distant persons, perhaps a result of the perceiver's vigilant stance…

Group Risk Taking and Internal-External Control of Group Members
Group risk taking was investigated as a function of the internal-external control level of group members. Using an experimental paradigm of Kogan and Wallach, it was predicted that groups composed of external Ss would manifest a greater risky shift and would reach group consensus in significantly less time than groups of internal Ss. The results demonstrated the risky-shift phenomenon for each group type and indicated that female groups reached c…
