Competition. Prejudice. Discrimination. Conflict .In 1954, a group of boys attended a remote summer camp in Oklahoma. There they were split into two groups, and encouraged to bully, harass, and demonise each other. The results would make history as one of social psychology's classic studies- the Robbers Cave experiment. Conducted at the height of the Cold War, the experiment officially had a happy ending- the boys reconciled, and psychologist Muzafer Sherif demonstrated that while hatred and violence are powerful forces, so too are cooperation and harmony. Today it is proffered as proof that under the right conditions warring groups can make peace. Yet the true story of the experiments is far more complex, and more chilling. In The Lost Boys, Gina Perry explores the experiment and its consequences, tracing the story of Sherif, a troubled outsider who struggled to craft an experiment that would vanquish his personal demons. 541 $d 20190709. 600 1 $a Sherif, Muzafer, $d 1906-1988. 650 $a Social psychology $x History. $x History. 650 $a Small groups $v Case studies. 650 $a Intergroup relations $v Case studies. 650 $a Behaviorism (Psychology) $x Moral and ethical aspects. 650 $a Social interaction $v Case studies. 650 7 $a Human behavior. 650 $a Prediction (Psychology.) 655 7 $a Case studies. 655 7 $a History. 941 $a 1 952 $l WSPF215 $d 20190718015532.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=94AD21E6A92111E99DC7973297128E48Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
