Answer to Question 2
The Robbers Cave experiment, conducted at several summer camps, investigated the
interactions among adolescent boys who were divided into two groups. Sheriff found
that competition between the two groups led to hostility and intense dislike that even
propaganda could not eliminate. Peace was restored to some extent when the two
groups worked together on tasks with super ordinate goals that could be achieved only
through cooperation from both groups. Simply bringing the two groups together under
noncompetitive circumstances or exposing them to positive propaganda concerning the
other group did not alleviate the conflict. The study suggests that group animosity can
grow out of competitionthe main tenet of realistic conflict theory.
