ANSWER:

Most of Milgram's subjects obeyed the experimenter and delivered 450 volts of shock, even though they believed that serious harm had come to the person they were shocking. Researchers found that three factors affected these results.
One factor is prestige. People will obey a prestigious figure more than a nonprestigious one. However, people tend to obey authority figures, even if the figure is not particularly reputable or distinguished.
A second factor is the presence of others who disobey. If other people are present and they disobey, the level of obedience drops dramatically. This is the most powerful factor in reducing obedience.
The last factor involves personality characteristics. People high in authoritarianism or with an external locus of control are more likely to comply.
