Books by Stanley Milgram

Stanley Milgram (1933–1984) was an American social psychologist who spent most of his career at the City University of New York Graduate Center. He studied under Solomon Asch and Gordon Allport and is best known for two lines of research: the obedience studies conducted at Yale in the early 1960s and his later work on the small-world phenomenon, which popularized the concept of six degrees of separation. His experiments remain among the most cited and most debated in the history of social science.
