The images of participants presented in Stanley Milgram’s (2005) infamous studies on obedience in the early 1960s appear to leave little room for doubting the validity of his claims. Close analyses of the statistical evidence (and the ecological validity of the experimental set-up) about the tendency for ‘ordinary’ people to follow orders that can lead to the harming of others is somewhat overshadowed by these powerful images. Similarly the video recordings taken by Philip Zimbardo and colleagues of the Stanford Prison Experiment (SPE), have been promoted as powerful testimony to the ease with which people take on the aggressive or passive behaviour in their respective roles as prisoner or guard.
A further aim was to devise a strategy for minimising any differences between the groups, through the adoption of more effective and ubiquitous forms of risk communication. Their initial qualitative data, using interviews and focus groups, were unsuccessful in eliciting the kind of responses they needed, especially with the public whose knowledge of food risk was limited. In response, Cassidy and Maule developed a visual approach employing ‘fuzzy felt’ to elicit mental models and social representations of food risk and to increase participant engagement with the issue, both at a community and industry level.
Derrida’s (1976) phrase ‘there is nothing outside the text’ (p. 158) has been itself read outside of the text as a claim that there is no intelligibility outside of discourse, when in fact it is a highly nuanced technical point about the hermeneutics (interpretation) of philosophical discourse and the metaphysics of graphism (writing in a very broad sense). The treatment of Foucault is of particular note, not least because a methodology known as ‘Foucauldian Discourse Analysis’ is now recognised in UK social psychology.
