Unit 4. Google Docs Assignment - Experiments & Human Behavior
Working as a whole class, create a single paper based on the three experiments: Hawthorne Effect; Miligram Experiment; & Asch Experiment. The paper should be written using Google Docs.
Should experiments like these be conducted? What do we learn from these experiments? Do insights gained from Miligram's research on obedience outweigh the elements of deception and stress that were forced on its subjects? Do the Asch experiments prove that individuals are influenced the opinion of the majority group? What does the Hawthorne Effect teach us about human behavior?
While writing this paper as a group, did you find that any of you were influenced by the opinion of the majority group?
