Factors Affecting Obedience? - Psychology

Okay, so I'm doing Milgrams study and for my homework I have to find the factors affecting obedience, please help??
Environment: how a person has been through up ex.what kind of parents they have, authoritarian? Life experiences? If they've ever been in trouble with the law etc? (If this is referring to obedience in people.)
