- The impact of viewing a video of Milgram's obedience study on the moral development of male versus female business students was the research objective in this study. A test for moral development- The Defining Issues Test- was administered to business students before and after they viewed a videotape of Milgram's famous obedience studies. Part one of the test was administered in week one to students in two third year business classes. One class was shown the video in week two. Part two of the test was administered to both classes in week four. For those that viewed Milgram and those that did not, no significant difference occurred between part one and two of the test. However, females scored significantly higher than males on both parts.
