Practice question · Match the pairs
Match each concrete detail to the study or its consequence.
- Unanimous confederates gave a wrong line judgment
- An experimenter urged delivering ever stronger shocks
- Randomly assigned guards turned authoritarian
- Distress to participants spurred informed-consent rules
- Research ethics reform
- Zimbardo's prison study
- Asch's conformity study
- Milgram's obedience study
Hints
- Reason from each detail to the study it belongs to.
- Line judgments are Asch; shocks are Milgram; guards are Zimbardo.
Show the answer
- Unanimous confederates gave a wrong line judgment → Asch's conformity study
- An experimenter urged delivering ever stronger shocks → Milgram's obedience study
- Randomly assigned guards turned authoritarian → Zimbardo's prison study
- Distress to participants spurred informed-consent rules → Research ethics reform
Why
Wrong line judgments are Asch, escalating shocks are Milgram, authoritarian guards are Zimbardo, and the ethics reforms followed from the distress these studies caused. Each detail maps to one study or its downstream consequence.
