Abstract The obedience to authority domain arose in psychological research between the 1950s–1960s as a combination of interest in obedience, conformity, and compliance that expanded after Milgram's shock experiments. Each of these components compared different forms of submissive behavior as a response to authority and social pressure, but over the past fifty years the domain has merged these three components and become more centered around the shock of submissive behavior than the authority that causes it. As a result, many modern investigations use inconsistent understandings of these constructs and often leave out manipulation of the second half of the paradigm – authority. If we reintroduce the distinctions for each form of submissive behavior, we can notice patterns of how each is related to differences in authority and the systemic benefits of studying the nuances of authoritative systems. Understanding the impact of power dynamics on submissive behavior and what truly separates obedience from conformity and compliance not only allows for a more dualistic approach to this discipline, but allows the authority domain to provide insight into other domains such as education, workplace behavior, and conformity to mass media.

将责任推给权威：对服从行为的回顾以及我们为什么应该继续前进

摘要 对权威领域的服从出现于 1950 年代至 1960 年代之间的心理学研究中，作为对服从、从众和服从的兴趣的组合，在米尔格拉姆的冲击实验之后扩大了。这些组成部分中的每一个都比较了作为对权威和社会压力的反应的不同形式的顺从行为，但在过去的 50 年中，该领域已经合并了这三个组成部分，并且变得更加围绕顺从行为的冲击而不是引起它的权威。因此，许多现代调查对这些结构的理解不一致，并且经常忽略对范式后半部分——权威的操纵。如果我们重新介绍每种形式的顺从行为的区别，我们可以注意到每种模式与权威差异的关系以及研究权威系统细微差别的系统性好处。了解权力动态对顺从行为的影响以及真正将服从与顺从和顺从区分开来的因素，不仅允许对该学科采取更加二元化的方法，而且允许权威领域提供对其他领域的洞察，例如教育、工作场所行为和顺从大众媒体。
