Few psychological studies, if any, can claim a legacy as imposing as the obedience studies of Stanley Milgram. Their impact was of notable consequence in the separate spheres of research ethics, research design, and theory in psychology, and they changed the ways that psychologists conceptualize and conduct their research. The authors discuss the legacy of these studies, especially as they effected dramatic changes in the fields of personality and social psychology. The article concludes with a discussion of what psychological science has lost in the aftermath of Milgram--high impact studies--and the salience that such research has in illuminating the most significant problems of our society, studies that could produce great human benefits.
几乎没有心理学研究（如果有的话）能宣称拥有像斯坦利·米尔格拉姆的服从实验那样深远的影响力。这些实验在研究伦理、研究设计和心理学理论等不同领域产生了显著影响，并且改变了心理学家构思和开展研究的方式。作者们探讨了这些研究的影响力，特别是它们如何给人格心理学和社会心理学领域带来了巨大变革。文章最后讨论了在米尔格拉姆实验之后心理科学所失去的东西——具有高度影响力的研究——以及这类研究在阐明我们社会最重要问题方面的重要性，这类研究本可给人类带来巨大益处。
