📱 eBook en inglés THE OBEDIENT SWITCH

"The Obedient Switch – Would you torture a stranger if a scientist told you to?" revisits the most disturbing psychological experiment of the 20th century. In 1961, Stanley Milgram wanted to understand how ordinary Germans could participate in the Holocaust. He set up a fake study where participants were ordered to administer increasingly painful electric shocks to a person in another room (who was actually an actor) every time they answered a question wrong.
