This study investigates how obedience in a Milgram-like experiment is predicted by inter-individual differences. Participants were 35 males and 31 females aged 26 – 54 from the general population who were contacted by phone 8 months after their participation in a study transposing Milgram's obedience paradigm to the context of a fake television game show. Interviews were presented as opinion polls with no stated ties to the earlier experiment. Personality was assessed by the Big Five Mini-Markers questionnaire (Saucier, 1994). Political orientation and social activism were also measured. Results confirmed hypotheses that Conscientiousness and Agreeableness would be associated with willingness to administer higher-intensity electric shocks to a victim. Political orientation and social activism were also related to obedience. Our results provide empirical evidence suggesting that individual differences in personality and political variables matter in the explanation of obedience to authority.

Big 5,
Big Five Model (BFM), "Iso Vitonen", persoonallisuuden viiden faktorin piirre-teoria ja inventaari,
Big Five -nimi 1981 (Lewis Goldberg). Tätä ennen monet – myös Eysenck (Giant Three) – olivat saaneet
tuloksia, joiden mukaan persoonallisuutta voitaisiin selittää vähemmällä kuin Cattell'in (16 PF) 16:lla
faktorilla (mm. Donald Fiske 1949, Ernest Tupes & Raymond Christal 1958 sekä Warren T. Norman
[1930 – 1998] 1963).

1) NEUROOTTISUUS (tai negatiivinen affektiivisuus) vs. EMOTIONAALINEN STABIILIUS.
2) EKSTRAVERSIO tai positiivinen affektiivisuus (vs. introversio).
3) AVOIMUUS kokemuksille tai epäkonventionaalisuus (vs. sulkeutuneisuus).
4) MYÖTÄMIELISYYS vs. VASTAMIELISYYS (antagonistisuus).
5) TUNNONTARKKUUS (tai pakottavuus).

Big 5:een liittyy NEO-persoonallisuus-inventaari.
