Stanley Milgram is recognized among Jewish contributors to Philosophy & Social Sciences — Social psychologist famed for the obedience to authority experiments
Stanley Milgram was a social psychologist whose 1961 obedience experiments at Yale showed that ordinary people would administer what they believed were dangerous shocks when instructed by an authority, a finding that reshaped understanding of conformity and complicity. He also devised the 'small-world' experiment behind the 'six degrees of separation' idea. He was born to Jewish immigrant parents in the Bronx, New York.
