What is confirmed here is an interesting but scary experiment where people were told they were participating in research to deliver electric shocks to other people behind closed doors. Even though the recipients screamed and banged on the doors to stop the shocks, 2 out of three of the fretful participants continued to deliver the shocks, because the men in white lab coats told them to do so. This says that 2/3 of people will relinquish their integrity and morals to follow authority.
