Well, a new paper published March 14 just announced that the famous Milgram Experiment has been replicated in Poland over 50 years since its inception in the US. It's been replicated before, but this is the first time any effort to do so has involved both men and women in shock-giving and shock-receiving roles.

More intriguing was the 2009 replication by Jerry Burger, who found an ingenious way of navigating the ethical concerns about Milgram's original experiment.

How did Burger replicating Milgram?

In Burger's replication, 70 percent of the participants had to be stopped as they continued past 150 volts – a difference that was not statistically significant. “Nearly four out of five of Milgram's participants who continued after 150 volts went all the way to the end of the shock generator,” Burger said.
