Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

According to the Milgram experiments, announcing that you refuse to go along with the bully's abusive behavior is the most effective advice to reduce obedience to a bully. This is because it disrupts the dynamic of blind obedience and demonstrates to others that it is possible to resist the bully's authority. Appealing to someone who has authority over the bully may not be effective if the authority figure is also a part of the same hierarchical system, and standing near the bully when he is being abusive may expose you to potential harm. Explaining to the bully how he is hurting others may also not be effective as bullies often have a limited capacity for empathy and may not be receptive to criticism.
