“…Significant progress has been made however. As the contributions to this issue demonstrate, we now better understand what it must have been like for participants to take part in Milgram's studies (Millard, 2014), the factors that contributed to their obedience (Burger, 2014;Russell, 2014) or disobedience (Gibson, 2014;Haslam et al, 2014), the way we need to understand participants' obedience (Ent & Baumeister, 2014;Miller, 2014) and how it is understood by observers (Monroe & Reeder, 2014). There is also a growing body of work providing a much needed theoretical account of Milgram's findings (see Reicher et al, 2014; see also Reicher et al, 2012), and a clearer articulation of how Milgram's findings can (and cannot) provide explanations for the Holocaust (Einwohner, 2014;Overy, 2014;Rochat & Blass, 2014;Staub, 2014).…”
