This study examined how obedience to authority influences evaluators' ethical decision making. It hypothesized that situations with authoritative pressure would elicit more unethical responses than those without pressure. Participants completed ethical dilemma scenarios either with or without an authoritative presence. Results found no differences in most scenarios, but those with authority were more likely to share confidential names. Greater familiarity with ethical standards like IRB processes also influenced responses. The study had limitations like sample size and self-report bias. Overall, it explored how authority and ethics training can impact evaluators' judgments in dilemmas.
