Description: This film documents a research project carried out at Yale University exploring the subject's willingness to follow orders. Male subjects between the ages of 40 and 50 years were told the project was a study of memory and learning where they were "to teach a student" word pairs and administer electric shocks for incorrect answers. Researchers observed reactions of the "teacher" and his degree of willingness to obey them and continue even when the "student" objected to the learning process and administration of shocks, or to obey the "student" and stop the experiment.
