One consequence of the Stanley Milgram experiment was a reconsideration of the ethical premises for the use of deception in psychological research. This article summarizes methodological issues of the Milgram experiment in four versions: the original design of its creator (1963), the recreation made by Henri Verneuil in his film I ... like Icarus (1979), the reconstruction by the English mentalist Derren Brown for British television (2006), and the replication of Jerry Burger with its original and controversial "solution" of the 150 volts (2009). From this, modern explicit regulations on the use of deception in research are developed, as is explicit in the code of the American Psychological Association (APA, 2003).
