I think that teachers who continued to shock the learners might have done that because they were more vulnerable to outside pressure than those who refused to continue the experiment. I can suggest that some of them truly felt like they “did not have a choice,” thinking about the authority figure represented by the experimenter and that he had the situation under control.
