That there were nurses and a doctor of higher authority. The doctor had a subject set in a mock electric chair and there was a power switch labeled; low, medium, high, and death. Each nurse would come in and the doctor would tell her what was going on and he would tell the nurse to keep turning the switch up higher and the person in the chair would act as if they were actually being electrocuted. If the nurse refused to go higher she or he would be fired.
If you have heard can you give me a link to the survey results?
Has anyone heard of the survey...?
nope- you have confused at least 2 maybe 3 experiments.
there were experiments, with people dressed as doctors, where the subjects were the ones turning on fake electric shocks - but they thought the subjects were the people getting the electric shocks.
no real doctors,
no real nurses
nobody getting fired
as best i recall, the shocking ( no pun intended) was how many of the true subjects kept upping the electricity because the 'authority" told them to.
lots of ethics papers and research came about as a result of this experiment.
