With colleagues he has written and edited 11 books, the most recent being The New Psychology of Leadership: Identity, Influence and Power (with Steve Reicher & Michael Platow, Psychology Press, 2011) and Social Psychology: Revisiting the Classic Studies (edited with Joanne Smith, Sage, 2012).

Arthur G. Miller is Professor Emeritus of Psychology at Miami University in Oxford, Ohio. He received his doctorate in social psychology from Indiana University in 1967, and spent 1979-1980 at Princeton University on anNIMH fellowship, studying with Ned Jones. He is the author of The Obedience Experiments: A Case Study of Controversy in Social Science (Praeger, 1986). He edited a special issue of Personality and Social Psychology Review ("Harming other people: Perspectives on evil and violence," 1999, 3), and The Social Psychology of Good and Evil (Guilford, 2004). The second edition of the latter is in progress.?He was one of the commentators on Burger's modification of the obedience paradigm, featured in a special issue of the American Psychologist (January, 2009), and a commentator on Diana Baumrind's reprise of her classic ethical critique of Milgram's first obedience article in Theoretical and Applied Ethics (2014).
