The key variable here was obedience to authority. Social norms refer to unwritten rules of behavior in a group, social roles are about the expected behavior of a person in a particular position, and anonymity is about being unknown. Milgram's work was specifically about how people obey authority figures, even when it might go against their personal moral compass.
