Important to note the 3 types of results found. Interesting to see the contrast. 1) Obeyed orders from experimenter, yet blamed everything on the experimenter. 2) Obeyed orders from experimenter, yet blamed self in the end. 3) Stopped during experiment. (What most people would have expected the highest percentage of results to be, but that is not the case).

The "teachers" were happy to see that no harm was done to the "students", however when they were doing the experiment, they continued to use a higher voltage like asked. Important to note that, although they're happy to see no harm was done, they were willing to do that harm for the experiment (and because the experimenter had asked for them to continue even if they didn't necessarily want to).

"Teachers" were asked to administer increasingly severe electric shocks to the "learner" when questions were answered incorrectly.
-
grunt at 75 volts; complain at 120 volts; ask to be released at 150 volts; plead with increasing vigor, next; and let out agonized screams at 285 volts.
-
visible but teachers were asked to force the learner’s hand to the shock plate so they could deliver the punishment
-
was a greater ethical imperative calling for the protection of the learner over the needs of the experimenter.
