  • Pay attention to the experimental setup, key events, and outcomes, noting how the researchers manipulated group dynamics and conflict.  Summarize the experiment. 
    1. Identify and define key social psychology concepts related to the experiment. Concepts may include:
      • In-Group vs. Out-Group Dynamics: The differentiation and favoritism towards one’s own group.
      • Social Identity Theory: How group identity influences behavior and attitudes.
      • Group Conflict: The nature of intergroup competition and hostility.
      • Contact Hypothesis: How interactions between groups can reduce prejudice and conflict.
      • Superordinate Goals: Objectives that require cooperation between groups to achieve, reducing hostility.
    1. Write an analysis applying each identified concept to specific aspects of the Robbers Cave Experiment.
      • In-Group vs. Out-Group Dynamics: Describe how the formation of the two groups (the Eagles and the Rattlers) led to in-group favoritism and out-group hostility.
      • Social Identity Theory: Explain how the participants’ identification with their respective groups influenced their behavior and attitudes toward the other group.
      • Group Conflict: Analyze the conflicts that arose between the groups and how they were manifested.
      • Contact Hypothesis: Evaluate the effectiveness of the strategies used to reduce conflict, such as the introduction of superordinate goals.
    1. Submit Your Work: Submit your written analysis and presentation by the designated deadline.
