I have only seen a recreation of the Milgram study narrated by 
Rosenhan.Delineating what is the precise IV and DV seem to present some 
issues.On the one hand it would appear that administering shocks for the wrong 
answer would be more of a DV.Rosenhan thinks though that the real experiment 
would be the extent the experimental subject obeys the prof which  would be 
both a DV and IV.Rosenhan in the film Moral development, would also have us  
believe
that the IV/DV is  influenced by the stage of moral development of the 
experimental subject ( a subject variable which could also be viewed as an IV 
impacting the DV of shock administration).Can the introspective justification 
for shocking given by  experimental subjects be considered an IV or DV?
Nice study though,but I would be hesitant to use the Milgram study to 
demonstrate the IV/DV distinction.
Btw,did you know that Daniel Ellsberg (of Pentagon papers}used Milgram to 
explain the My Lai massacre?
