goals that can be best achieved through groups working together benefit or recategorization, superordinate goals that help us see others as part of the same category as we are provide a common ingroup identity and are successful at improving intergroup attitudes (e.g. Robbers Cave Experiment - 11 year boys at summer camp divided into 2 groups at camped at opposite ends of the site - "the Rattlers" and "the Eagles". Each group developed its own social norms and group structure and became quite cohesive, with a strong positive social identity. Then they united the boys and arranged competitive games, like tug-of-war, which created ingroup favoritism, prejudice, and discrimination like stealing, food fights, and name-calling. the situations were designed to get them to problem solve and creating interdepedence through goals that were both very important to them and yet that required the cooperative efforts and resources of both the Eagles and the Rattlers to attain...led to more positive intergroup attitudes) Recommended textbook solutionsMyers' Psychology for AP2nd EditionDavid G Myers 900 solutions Social Psychology10th EditionElliot Aronson, Robin M.
