i just remember yearss ago a teacher was telling me about a study, similar to milgrams, but it was on animals? dogs i think?

help! :D

Answer 1

I know of one where people shocked people. Google search electric shock experiment. I forget the name of the social psychologist.

Answer 2

Sheridan, C.L. and King, K.G. (1972) Obedience to authority with an authentic victim, Proceedings of the 80th Annual Convention of the American Psychological Association 7: 165-6.

But please be sure to note, Milgram's experiment didn't have electric shocks. The experimenters used a confederate to act as though they were being shocked. The puppy in the aforementioned study, sadly, was shocked.  

Answer 3

There were many! Maybe Brady's Executive Monkey study? He gave monkeys an electric shock, but one controlled the shock, the other didn't, and the one that controlled it died from a stomach ulcer?

There was another one where a small electric shock was given to a puppy to see if students would continue to administer the shocks to the dog. That was based on Milgram's experiment.
