I must be procrastinating lecture planning as I seem to be replying more to TIPS today.
The DV in the milgram study is how far the subject went up the various shock levels. The initial study was run as an observational study and not an experiment - there was no manipulated IV. However, additional conditions were run (see wikipedia http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Milgram_experiment#Milgram.27s_variations for example - all the usual warnings apply). Thus, distance of the experimenter from the subject was one IV. Location the study was conducted in was another. Presence of other teachers was a third, etc. Unless there is random assignment and a manipulated IV, it's not a proper experiment and shouldn't be used as an example of one.
