Milgram's Agency Theory
- We have 2 social
states !
- Agentic state- we follow orders from legit
authority (age/uniform) + don't feel
responsible for actions e.g. school.
- Autonomous state- being responsible for our
own actions + follow out free will
- passing from Autonomous to Agentic = 'Agentic Shift'
- Moral strain- Signs of stress + guilt we feel when following
orders we believe is wrong -use defence mechanisms e.g.
denial
- Moral strain- Signs of stress + guilt we feel when following
orders we believe is wrong -use defence mechanisms e.g.
denial
- Strengths- Theory has real life applications to explain obe. e.g. soldiers in
ww2 following orders from Hitler (agentic) + Milgrams exp. followed
orders from experimenter + passed over responsibility (agentic shift) /
Can apply to Hofling's exp. (nurses agents to 'doctor')!
- Weaknesses- Agency theory can't explain individual differences in obe. - Milgram's exp. 35%
of pps didn't do 450v even though in same state as pps who did obey.
