Stanley Milgram originally explained the results of his famous obedience study in terms of the "agentic state." He described this as a state in which subjects see themselves as instruments of the experimenter's will and automatically displace responsibility for their actions onto the experimenter.

• Describe what you think is the most direct evidence that challenges this explanation.
• Describe and make clear two elements of Milgram's original "voice feedback" study that can be invoked to explain his results independently of the "agentic state." (Note that this question does not call for you to consider later variations of the study that Milgram investigated.)
