Outline one factor that affects obedience.

Several factors can affect a person's likelihood of obeying an authority figure. These are often called situational variables. Key factors identified by Milgram include: - **Proximity:** Physical closeness to the authority figure (increases obedience) or the victim (decreases obedience). - **Location:** The setting where the order is given. A prestigious location (like a university) increases obedience compared to a run-down office. - **Uniform:** Authority figures wearing a uniform are seen as more legitimate and are more likely to be obeyed.
