Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Milgram's research is most famous for demonstrating the power of perceived authority and obedience to authority. Option B, "Do Not Underestimate the Power of Perceived Authority," directly addresses this theme and would be a relevant and appropriate title for a lecture on Milgram's research. Option A, "Obedience and Aggression Are Inborn," makes a claim that is not supported by Milgram's research and would be a misleading title. Option C, "Training in Ethics Can Overcome the Pull of Obedience," may be true, but it does not focus on the central theme of Milgram's research. Option D, "Make a Small Request First and the World Can Be Yours," is not directly related to Milgram's research and would be a misleading title.
