What are the three claims for the Realistic group conflict theory
1. Conflict is the result of a direct competition for resources
2. Conflict will not be resolved simply by having groups come in contact with one another
3. Conflict can only be resolved by having groups work together towards a common goal
Name three examples of hostility caused due to the competitions.
Booed each other during games, raiding cabins and one group burned the other’s flag
How did Torres et al. measure the extent of integration into mainstream culture?
Their use of the english language
What is a repeated measures design?
it is an experimental design which exposes participants to each condition making up the independent variable.
Debate; Who is the better twin? Justify your answer.
Whoever makes the best argument
Define the social identity theory
SIT doesn’t refute RCT but suggests that conflict may occur even when there is no direct competition for resources
Main idea: conflict may occur because of the psychological mechanisms involved in group identity
How might the Robber’s Cave experiments generalisability be questioned?
All participants white, middle-class, protestant with parents still married. This lack of diversity in terms of wealth, religion and childhood background may make it difficult to generalise the results to other groups / demographics.

How did the researchers try to decrease hostility at the end of the experiment? Give examples.
The experimenters wanted to try and see if the conflict that they built could be resolved by introducing a common goal for everyone to work with.
1.fix a water supply issue because it had been previously tampered by vandals
2. agree on a movie that they wanted to watch, and to come up with ways on how to pay for it
What were the results of Torres et al’s study
1) There was a positive correlation between levels of discrimination and acculturative stress
2) Correlation between higher integration and low acculturative stress
What are the differences between natural experiments, quasi experiments
difference is that in a quasi-experiment the criterion for assignment is selected by the researcher, while in a natural experiment the assignment occurs 'naturally,' without the researcher's intervention.
