The aim of Milgram's study

1. To test the idea that Germans were somehow different from other people, in that they were able to carry out barbaric acts against the Jews and other minority groups.

2. Milgram also wanted to see if participants would obey orders to give electric shocks to someone they thought was another participant. He wanted to know How far would they go.

He also believe that extreme obedience such as systematic murders carried out by the Nazis during WWII, was only specific to a very large number who carry out orders and will not show in individuals.
