An investigator compiled data from alternative variations of Milgram's obedience research to examine how physical proximity influenced the percentage of participants who administered the maximum voltage (450V).

Experimental ConditionPercentage of participants administering maximum shock (450V)
Condition A: Experimenter and learner are in separate rooms (Voice feedback baseline)62.5%
Condition B: Learner is placed in the same room as the participant (Proximity)40%
Condition C: Experimenter leaves the laboratory and gives orders via telephone (Remote instruction)21%

Using the data presented in the table above, outline two conclusions that can be drawn about how proximity factors affect obedience.
