“…I have argued elsewhere (Greenwood, 1982) that the present inadequacies of the laboratory experiment in social psychology are directly traceable to the practising psychologist's failure to appreciate the relational nature of social psychological phenomena, and the critical relation of constitution by social and agent representations. Attempts to isolate social psychological phenomena in laboratory experiments regularly alter their relational nature, and transform participant representations in indeterminate and unpredictable ways.…”

“…Causal explanations in natural science are in fact confirmed on the basis of relatively few 'positive instances' in closed experiments (Toulmin, 1953;Bhaskar, 1975;Greenwood, 1982). The scientist acts to isolate the hypothetical causal mechanism, or independent variable, from potential mechanisms of interference.…”

“…Para Milgram, o experimentador representava uma autoridade legítima, visto como tendo o direito de emitir uma ordem e a quem as pessoas se sentiam obrigadas a obedecer, diz Blass (2000, p. 38). Outros argumentam que nos experimentos de Milgram o experimentador foi visto como um especialista (Greenwood, 1982;Moreli, 1983;Patten, 1977), o que levou os participantes a aquiescerem às suas ordens. Supondo que os participantes dos experimentos de Milgram (1963) fizeram uma atribuição externa a seu comportamento de ministrar choques (atribuição à legitimidade ou ao conhecimento do experimentador que exerceu a influência), a teoria da conduta social de Weiner (1995) prediria que a atribuição a uma causa externa e incontrolável os eximiria de responsabilidade e eles não sentiriam remorso, culpa, nem outras possíveis emoções negativas.…”
