Researchers have tested many persuasion strategies, including the foot-in-the door and the door-in-the-face techniques, in a variety of contexts. Ultimately, the principles are effective in selling products and changing people’s attitude, ideas, and behaviors (Cialdini & Goldstein, 2004).

Naturalistic Observations

If you want to understand how behavior occurs, one of the best ways to gain information is to simply observe the behavior in its natural context. However, people might change their behavior in unexpected ways if they know they are being observed. How do researchers obtain accurate information when people tend to hide their natural behavior? As an example, imagine that your professor asks everyone in your class to raise their hand if they always wash their hands after using the restroom. Chances...

Ethics in Research

Today, scientists agree that good research is ethical in nature and is guided by a basic respect for human dignity and safety. However, this has not always been the case. Modern researchers must demonstrate that the research they perform is ethically sound.

Obedience

32.8K
According to obedience research, we may harm others under the forceful pressures of an authority figure (Milgram, 1974). How about if the inappropriate orders were delivered with less force? The increasing interdependence between nurses and physicians compelled Hofling and his colleagues to explore nurses’ reactions to a potentially harmful medical request made by the perceived authority figure, the doctor (Hofling, Brotzman, Dalrymple, Graves, & Pierce, 1966). In this situation,...

Milgram's Obedience to Authority

6.4K
Obedience to authority is classically demonstrated in a more famous series of social psychology experiments performed by Stanley Milgram. He was a social psychology professor at Yale who was influenced by the trial of Adolf Eichmann, a Nazi war criminal. Eichmann’s defense for the atrocities he committed was that he was “just following orders.”

Area of Science:

  • Neonatal Medicine
  • Clinical Ethics
  • Medical Ethics

Background:

  • Medical ethics is often viewed as determining right/wrong in bedside dilemmas.
  • Rushing to judgment in ethical dilemmas can obscure underlying issues and perspectives.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To reframe ethical reflection as a process of deeper understanding, not just finding the right answer.
  • To explore a case of a father requesting palliative care for his premature infant.

Main Methods:

  • Case study analysis of an infant born at 23 weeks' gestation.
  • Examining the father's request from neonatologist, ethicist, and mediator viewpoints.
  • Utilizing tools like the Ladder of Inference and View from Everywhere.

Main Results:

  • The father's request for palliative care prompted a reevaluation beyond a simple 'no'.
  • Analysis revealed how surprise and implicit bias can lead to hasty clinical decisions.
  • Tools from ethics consultation and conflict mediation offer alternative response pathways.

Conclusions:

  • Ethical reflection should probe beyond the initial question to understand stakeholder perspectives.
  • Clinical teams can benefit from structured approaches to explore the context of ethical challenges.
  • Deeper exploration leads to more effective and compassionate resolutions in complex pediatric cases.
