My friend, you are referencing Milgrim's studies.
Omg ...yes! Thank you!

I wondered the same thing. I know a domestic violence expert is coming soon, I wonder if she interviewed JA. If she did I imagine the report was shared with both sides. But the mental status I wonder. Of course the idea would be to report back she has some kind of battered woman syndrome (based on what JA tells the expert) It would be frightening if she was on the streets again.
I would really like for her to get evaluated for Axis I disorders. I think she's totally competent to stand trial, and I think she knows what she did was wrong. I think it seems almost like she's playing a game, though. I'm very hesitant to really go into specifics because I'm afraid it will come across as me trying to excuse her actions in some way or another. I think she's sick, but not in a sociopathic kind of way. A lot of symptoms that occur in socio/psychopathy occur in other disorders. There's one in particular that has most of the characteristics she displays down to a tee, and could be easily overlooked.

Is there a particular reason why I am unable to " thank" certain posters?
I'm trying to thank Jax and it won't let me.

Noooo, Milgram was an attempt to explain how figures in authority positions can control people.
The test she's thinking of was conducted by Dr. Hare. It consisted of an individual told they were about to get shocked and their reaction was measured. The Milgram experiments were almost the opposite - the person being studied was "shocking" a confederate of the researcher and seeing how far they would take it.

Ravens, that is all...Oh and some chip dip! arty:

Ok...it's all coming back to me now.
Hares study involved showing words that illicit reactions in ...wait no....that was a different one.
Hares was a shock to the fingertip when they pushed a button on a word that wasn't really a word. A small shock would induce perspiration in normal folk in anticipation ...not the case with psychopaths.

Linda, your link is simply the study Hare did that I mentioned earlier...but Hare did NOT shock anyone. Milgrim shocked confederates (students that were in on the experiment) to see if non-confederates (participants) would still crank up electric shocks on "subjects" if demanded to do so by authorities.
Milgrim is the go-to study when people talk about research that had to do with electical shocks.
