An investigator compiled data from variations of Milgram's obedience research to examine how different situational variables affected the percentage of participants who administered the maximum voltage (450V).
| Experimental Condition | Percentage of participants administering maximum shock (450V) |
|---|---|
| Condition 1: Standard baseline study (Yale University) | 65% |
| Condition 2: Run-down office block (Bridgeport) | 48% |
| Condition 3: Ordinary man experimenter (No lab coat/systematic authority) | 20% |
