Stanley Milgram

Beschreibung

In a series of ingenious studies, social psychologist Stanley Milgram, examined the impact of modern society on the psychology of individuals.

Lunt explores the historical and cultural setting of Milgram's social psychology, his intellectual roots and the continuing relevance of his research today. This authoritative introduction is essential reading for all those interested in the psychology of power and obedience.
