👉 Pat-human experiments, often referred to as the "Pat test," were a controversial psychological study conducted by Stanley Milgram in the 1960s where participants were asked to administer what they believed were increasingly severe electric shocks to another person under the direction of a supposed authority figure; these tests aimed to explore obedience to authority but have been criticized for their ethical implications. More recently, similar experiments have been reevaluated and some have even been conducted with stricter ethical guidelines to understand the limits of human obedience and compliance.
