Definition 3 of 98
1. experimental ingroup formation: boys separated by group and formed norms and bonds,
then informed about other group
2. competition: series of direct competition with clear winner or loser, showed how intergroup
dynamics can influence perception
3. integration: boys then introduced to superordinate goals shared by both groups (ex/ work
together to fix broken water tank)
study- SDO and hierarchy maintenance
3 stages of Robber's Cave Experiment
relative deprivation in Robber's Cave study

,Definition 4 of 98

- people want to achieve and maintain a positive social identity and distinguish their own social
groups from other social groups
self esteem hypothesis
social darwinism
social identity theory
symbolic/modern racism scale
Definition 5 of 98
- are we quicker/slower to approach/avoid ingroup and outgroup members?
- Ps had faster avoidance than approach times for Black faces and were faster to avoid Black
than White faces
- for slavic names, avoidance movements were faster and for Italian names, approach
movements were faster
- HOWEVER- we don't know if this is related to evolution! could be cultural factors
for Allport, what type of contact is effective?
3 stages of Robber's Cave Experiment
what predictions do evolutionary theories make?
lab methods used to assess evolutionary theories
Definition 6 of 98
- 1990s- present
- prejudice appears to be universal phenomenon that emerged from challenges in
evolutionary history
- prejudice was evolutionarily adaptive and helped address social problems in our
evolutionary past
evolutionary theories
athletics and intergroup contact study
psychodynamic theories
Intergroup Relations theories
,Definition 7 of 98
- randomly assigned Iraqi Christian soccer players to teams with no Muslims or 25% Muslims
- explored whether intergroup relations can be changed following new (specific) forms of
contact
- narrow effects, on the field outcomes more likely than off the field outcomes
study- Black GIs in Europe
study on relative deprivation and race
Salma Mousa's study on social trust
barriers to intergroup contact
Definition 8 of 98
- interpersonal contact between groups will improve intergroup relations
contact hypothesis
schema theory
paradox of symbolic prejudice
Muzafer Sherif
Definition 9 of 98
- White Ps completed SDO and intergroup empathy task
- saw white, asian, and Black person experience something mildly positive or negative
- as SDO increased, Ps generally felt less positive empathy and more Schadenfreude for racial
outgroup members
** SDO may maintain hierarchies by blunting empathy towards outgroup members
study- SDO and hierarchy maintenance

study on relative deprivation and race
IAT and white participants
, Definition 10 of 98

- higher BPM with black person than white person
Right Wing Authoritarianism scale
social identity theory
optimal distinctiveness theory
partner discomfort study- aversive racism
Definition 12 of 98
- uses reaction times of identifying positive vs negative word to infer implicit racial attitudes
- weaknesses: consequential validity
negative intergroup contact
what is SDO associated with?
evaluative priming
can IAT predict behaviour?
