It was Stanley Milgram's study (1974). We studied it in psychology for our Social Influence unit. Out of 40 men, 64% went up to the full voltage. But there are a lot of ethical concerns with this study; the participants weren't fully consented (they didn't know what was going to happen cos they were told it was going to be a memory test) The only reason why I know all this is because I have a very important exam in psychology on 20th May (6 days b 4 Ozzfest!!)
