Question 1

e

Answer 1

culture is ideas customs norms and social behaviour of a particualr society
there are two types of cultres, indivualistic amd collectivist.
an idividualistic cultre are cultures taht have empahsis over individulas rather tahn hroup, these often occur is westenrd cultures such as aemrica
colectvist cultures are those that value the need of teh grouo over individuals which areoften seen in non westernizede cultures

smith and bond found that ppl who belonhg to indv eg american aree more likely to behave independantly than thsoe from collevtivit cultures. in colectivst hroup decisoonn is highly valued , in idv ppl are more converned with independant sucess,
culture can therefore affect levls of indepndnt behaviour, thsi means that those who belong to indv are less liley to conform and obey wheres groups eg collectivstb are more likely to obey each otehr as group decisons are hugly valued

Question 2

Answer 2

the socail impat theory uses the concept of social enginerrong which states taht famous polyocans can use the effect of immdiacy to make postive changes to society

immedicay is when the proximity of the source and how recent the order was made can effect levels of obedinace,
using the light bulb anaology, the ,orecloserbteh light bulb is to the wall tthe higher teh brightness will be,
therefore using the effect of socaolmenginerring and powerful polticans amking orders and comannds in person to crwod wull have a greater impact on obedinmace as cpmapred to from anewsapper,

however thsi wont always leas to positive applications to society, often polticans can use their power to msnipulate and create problems within society, if thsi occurs within a westernized more likely to obide to wronhful commands

Question 3

Answer 3

another factor effectimg our pbedinace is the location that we arre present in,
as seen in milgram exp 10 held in yale uni, pptsp thoughts the reseachers were experts and trustworthy, if its in a professional place then we are more likely to obey
pptps remarked taht then location gave them conifdenve and taht if it was not yale taht theyw ud not go ahead wuth the shocks,
milgram notoced taht pptps more relaxed in yale
reulsta t bridgeport were 48% as comapred to abseline of 65%, this shhows hwom prestigous and respcted settinsg allows the diffusion of rresposibility as we afe followung orfder of athoruty figurrs and feel less resoinble can be argued the ugher teh authority the lower twy resposnivlitu we feel

Question 4

Answer 4

milgram has carried out nearly 19 variatiosn of his study,
situational afctors are supported and backed up by lab experiments, this allows us to establish clear cause and effect
in variation 7 ilgram investiagetes how proximity of the experimentyer beffects obedinace

the experimenter has becomes absent from teh rooma and had so resorted to telling orders thru the phoen,
this meuausres teh effct of proximity anf obedinace,
obedinace went dwon from 65 to 22%
this hsows adequte support ofnhow manipulating certain factors thru th use of lab exp helps to iestablishdef how obedinave isbeffected
