Can someone explain the explanations of obedience? So gradual commitment, role of buffers, agentic shift and justifying obedience?

role of buffers - when participants couldn't see the person getting shocked(the person was in another room) in milgram's experiement they were more inclined to step up the voltage compared to when they were in the room and they were reluctuant to step up the voltage so obedience fell....

justifying obedience - participants were more likely to increase the voltage/continue the experiement when the experiementer said "the experiement requires you to continue" this made participants feel like they were serving some sort of "greater good" and this made them obey.

Agentic Shift is easy as pie - people are normally in an autonumous state(we are mostly independent,we make our own choices etc.) however when in the presence of an authority figure we shift to an agentic state due to the fact that we believe the person is a legitamate authority.

Gradual commitment - the participants in milgrams experiement started off small and gradually increased voltage so they thought it wasn't that bad for the person getting shocked.This caused them to obey compared to if they were asked to start at 450vs(the highest voltage i think) this would have caused alot of people to instantly say no...

Hope this helped :smile:

someone help me with Holmes and Rahe SRRS what is it about and how is it linked to sources of stress?

So Holmes and Rahe devised the SRRS (social readjustment rating scale) which is a list of 43 life events from a scale of 0-100 depending on how much readjustment they require. They asked 400 ppts to numerically rate life events such as death of spouse, marriage, fired from work etc. They used these to calculate a life change unit (LCU) for each event between 0-100. 100 being death of spouse for example.
The scale suggests that people with a LCU of 200-300 (when adding up all their life events) have a 50% chance of becoming ill (stress related illness) and those with a LCU of 300+ have an 80% chance of becoming ill :smile:

yeeeeeep. You can say the people who resisted most likely had high locus of control and then you can use other explanations toooo

yeah you also have to outline the features of an independent person e.g. internal locus of controlbut you use diff variations e.g.

Asch - when they were in the presence of allies conformity went down
Milgram - run down office -conformity went down

for supporting research use Oliner and Oliner....which basically found that germans who hid jews instead of turning them in had a high level of social responsibilty which caused them to have independent behaviour.

Can someone explain the freudian approach - I still don't understand it.

How does fixation occur?
What relationship do the psychosexual stages have to the ID ego and superego

Freud was associated with the psychodynamic model which perceives abnormalities to be caused by unconscious, unresolved childhood traumas.

Freud saw personality as consisting of three parts: the ego, id and super-ego. The ego attempts to balance the id's desire for immefiate gratification and the super ego's need for constant morality. When this balance is not achieved, anxiety occurs.

The ego uses defence mechanisms to deal with anxiety such as represion, displacement, projection, denial and regression
