Answer: The experiment was deemed unethical
Explanation: Because the participants were led to believe that they were administering shocks to real people. The participants were unaware that the learner was an associate of Milgram's. However, Milgram argued that deception was necessary to produce the desired outcomes of the experiment. Later, Milgram conducted an experiment to gauge the deception and concluded that 83.7% felt positively about participating, and 1.3% of participants felt negatively about being involved (McLeod, 1970).
