“Philip Zimbardo, director of the Stanford Prison experiment, found the same thing as Milgram and there have been thousands of similar experiments that also had similar results.
My favorite is the “Good Samaritan” experiment in which divinity students at Princeton Theological Seminary were asked to give a sermon about the biblical story of the Good Samaritan at a nearby church.
Each divinity student was told that it was very important they begin the sermon on time. The church where they were to speak was within walking distance from the seminary and the divinity candidate had to walk along the Princeton University campus, which starts less than 100 meters from the divinity school.
As the student walked on the sidewalk adjacent to the Princeton campus, an actor was lying in the bushes moaning in pain and pleading for help.
When the prospective Christian minister saw and heard the “injured” person they were confronted with the dilemma of “should I help this person and be late to my sermon or should I ignore this person and be on time for my sermon.”
In the vast majority of cases the student decided it was more important to be on time to tell the story of the good Samaritan than to emulate the good Samaritan by helping the person. Obviously, the sermon they gave was not one that would have had any meaningful impact on themselves.”
