Contestants on a French quiz show were willing to torture a man to death with high voltage electricity, live on television. They didn't know it was actually all part of an experiment, and their victim was an actor. The fake show called 'Game of Death', featured participants electrocuting contestants who answered incorrectly until they screamed in agony. Psychologists were exploring how far people are willing to push moral boundaries, in their pursuit of celebrity. 80 volunteers took part in what they thought was the pilot for a new TV programme, and just 16 of them refused to inflict pain. One of the show's directors denied he was exploiting contestants.

damn those Canadians and their special TV... this is a more dramatic example of Milgram's experiment because the "contestant" was being egged on by more than just one authority, the crowd was a huge deciding factor. this experiment is a perfect example of peoples willingness to follow orders. people are going to give in to someone who they think is an authority figure more than half of the time. Zimbardo (Stanford Prison Experiment) did this on an episode of Dr. Phil and it proved the same

@safarigurl150 Not french or german experiment, it was a north american experiment (Yale University), and no Nazi era, it started in 1961. Bravo!

@Elavats Results were different this time around. They hit over 80%. Also remember that this was in France. They protest at the drop of a hat these days. Anywhere else and... I shudder to think... we're really, really well trained...

The experiment is a farce anyway. Take away the visual and there is no emotional connection. The part where the contestant was so called ´unconscious´ actually lifted the barrier of the audio making it easier for the ´punishers´. This barely shows people are willing to shock other people if they aren´t confronted with it. When there is no connection between contestant and punisher at all. It has nothing to do with willingness to follow orders at all.
