Milgam explains that Agentic state is when we give up our own free will to serve the needs of society as a whole. People give up their responsibility and follow orders without considering the consequences or whether the orders are appropriate, this results in a diffusion of responsibility. This diffusion of responsibility means that we no longer monitor our own behaviour. Milgram believed that his participants were 'just following orders' and did not consider themselves responsible, this is shown very clearly in his study of Destructive Obedience in 1963, his participants displayed signs of releif when the experimenter said "I am responsible for what happens here, and to Mr Wallace."

What is the agency theory within psychology?
Milgram (1974) proposed that our tendency to obey people in authority is a way of maintaining a stable society. in order to live in complex societies we need social rules. sticking to these rules means that at least some of the time we have to give up some of our free will. Milgram proposed that in order to accomplish this we have developed two social states: * In the Autonomous state we are free to act as we wish. * However in our Agentic state we surrender our free will and conscience in order to serve the interests of the wider group. referrence "angles on psychology - 3rd edition" by Emmanuel Chikaviro
