Abstract

A variant of the Milgram experiment considers the relationship between participants and the target. However, few studies have made a more in-depth exploration. This study explores the effect of minimal group membership on obedience to authority and the role of human feelings from the perspective of intergroup relationship. This experiment uses the minimal group paradigm to group the participants, and asks them to raise the temperature of the room where the fake participant are located, so as to investigate their obedience to authority.
