This section highlights three conclusions: first, I suggest that social psychology needs an expanded conception of obedience that takes into account the extent to which authority operates through more banal processes than the issuing of direct orders; second, I build on the ideas outlined in chapter 7 to suggest that our expanded conception of obedience necessitates an expanded conception of rhetoric that allows for that which may appear to be beyond argument to be conceived of in rhetorical terms; third, I conclude by summarising some implications for social psychology itself, with particular attention to what has become known as the ‘replication crisis’, in which a number of notable social psychological findings have failed to survive an encounter with that cornerstone of the scientific method, replication. It will be suggested that the recordings of Milgram’s obedience experiments highlight the extent to which rhetoric and interaction are at the heart of experimental practice. Until this is more fully understood and woven into the disciplinary practice of social psychology, we can expect more crises to be declared as our idealised view of the psychology laboratory comes to grief as it encounters the inescapably social-contextual nature of rhetoric and interaction.
