I want to see the percentage who gave themselves more than one. They're the real heroes of this study.
One guy shocked himself 190 times
That guy was running his own study. “How many times can I shock myself before I breach the ethical limits of the study and they cut the session short”.
He underestimated their resolve though, clearly.
That's more than one every 5 seconds lmao
He probably spammed the button at some point, just to see what that would feel like
When you minmax your masochism stat.
All of these participants had received a sample of the shock and reported that they would pay to avoid being shocked again.
From: https://news.virginia.edu/content/doing-something-better-doing-nothing-most-people-study-shows , so the chart is actually measuring the second shock.
Oh, those are the scientists. And yes, they're the heroes of this study!
