The independent and dependent variables in Milgram's research were clearly defined, with the independent variable being the level of authority the "experimenter" exerted and the dependent variable being the level of obedience displayed by the participant. The other criticisms directed toward Milgram's research include poor generalizability, deception without prior consent, and the potential for severe emotional stress on subjects.
