Chapter 9 - 14
Summary:
These chapters delved into the psychological aspect more than the actual experiments. He does discuss a few more variations however, which involved the effects of groups. Then Milgram gives his explanation for why he thinks the subjects behaved the way they did, which is that they transfer into an agentic state combined with the predisposed and binding factors. Lastly he closes with rejecting the theory of aggression and that his experiment is flawed, as well as a comparison to Nazi Germany.
Discussion:
This section was even harder to read than the first. His technical way of writing just does not keep my attention well. I thought his reasoning for his beliefs was sound, as were the methods of the experiments.
