Wer möchte nicht gerne dazugehören? Ob als Fans bei Sportevents oder als Mitglieder einer politischen Partei: Wir sehen uns gerne als Teil einer Gruppe - und diese Gruppe ist natürlich viel besser als alle anderen! Soweit so gut, doch daraus entstehen schnell Konflikte zwischen “verfeindeten” Teams. In dieser Folge sprechen Leon und Atze über ein denkwürdiges Experiment, das solche Dynamiken erklären wollte und gleichzeitig höchst fragwürdig war. Was lernen wir daraus für die Konflikte unserer Zeit? Fühlt euch gut betreut Leon & Atze Start ins heutige Thema: 12:19 min.

You take 11-year-olds, divide them into different teams, force them to compete for points, and then you watch them fight. Eventually, you bring them back together through a common enemy (an enemy that is probably more appropriate for the adults to handle…). Are we talking about Harry Potter or a social psychology experiment from the 1950s? Listen in to find out.

The mid-20th century was the heyday of figuring out why humans were the worst through the use of social psychological experiments. Strange Country cohosts Beth and Kelly talk about one such experiment, Muzafer Sherif's Robbers Cave Experiment where Sherif gathered a group of 12 year old boys to see if he could pit the boys against one another. Sherif's experiment is included in Psych 101 books about group dynamics, but did this hostility occur organically or was it more manufactured by the adults?

Futureproof Extra: The Robbers Cave Experiment
(NOTAS Y ENLACES COMPLETOS DEL CAPÍTULO AQUÍ: https://www.jaimerodriguezdesantiago.com/kaizen/113-ellos-y-nosotros-historia-de-dos-realidades/ )Decía el otro día en twitter - medio en broma, medio en serio - que la mía es la historia de una adolescencia nunca superada. El caso es que en esa adolescencia tuve una etapa en la que me dio por el cine de terror. Me metía en el salón de casa con un bol enorme de palomitas, bajaba las persianas y me tragaba cualquier clásico de miedo que pudiera encontrar. Por delante de mis ojos pasaban asesinos en serie, monstruos venidos de otros planetas, hoteles malditos, vampiros, demonios, muñecos diabólicos y hasta personajes casi de cuento cuyo nombre no debías repetir cinco veces delante del espejo. Candyman, Candyman, Candyman, Candyman, Candy… vamos a dejarlo ahíCreo que de esa época no me quedaron secuelas - o al menos no he encontrado ningún vínculo entre mis taras actuales y aquello - pero lo que sí me quedó fue cierta fascinación por qué es lo que nos lleva al mal. Claro que el cine de terror es seguramente el peor sitio para buscar el origen del mal, porque a pesar de que sea un festival de vísceras, gritos, mordiscos y sustos de todo tipo, suele mostrarnos el mal más básico y el menos común: el mal puro. El de quien mata, posee o corrompe porque es su naturaleza; sin más razón muchas veces que ser el malo del guión.Lo cierto es que, pese a mis reticencias por madurar, supongo que en parte lo he hecho. Porque hacerse mayor es entender que los extremos son poco comunes, eso de que las cosas no son ni blancas, ni negras. Que en este caso significa que el mal puro rara vez existe. Sino que, de hecho, hay múltiples fuerzas que pueden empujarnos a cualquiera de nosotros a atrocidades de las que jamás nos creímos capaces. Las mayores barbaridades que ha cometido el ser humano fueron a manos de gente que creía estar haciendo lo correcto.Hoy vamos a hablar sobre todo de una de esas fuerzas que nos es inherente a todos, que está detrás de mucho de nuestro comportamiento y que llevada al extremo es terriblemente peligrosa: la tendencia que tenemos a dividir el mundo en dos grupos, Ellos y Nosotros.
In 1971, Dr. Phillip Zimbardo gathered a group of undergraduate students and convinced them that they were not allowed to leave the basement of the Stanford Psychology Department. Half of the group played the role of guards, while the other half became prisoners for what was supposed to be a 14-day experiment. What followed was six days of legitimized abuse, and fifty years of legitimized research, all based on a misrepresentation of motives. In this episode I talk about what happened in that study, and what it means about our human tendency to blame our bad behavior on others.
Robbers Cave State Park in southeastern Oklahoma is the site of much momentous Philadelphia Church of God history. Each year, Herbert W. Armstrong College students and faculty enjoy a Robbers Cave break before the spring holy days—even when the break doesn’t take place at Robbers Cave. Learn what this year’s unique Robbers Cave break, held on campus instead, was like.
Once WWII ended, the "Western World" got to work figuring out what had happened. But (as usual), we had no interest taking any blame or self reflecting on our own systems of power. Researchers who understood how much we hate to point the finger at ourselves designed study after study meant to reveal the thing or things which caused otherwise good people to do horrible things. In this episode I will talk about two of those studies: The Robbers Cave Experiment (1954) and the Milgram Shock Experiment (1963). The results can tell us a lot about systems of hierarchical power, but they can tell us even more about our cultural habit of chronic wokeness.

In the summer of 1954, two groups of 8- to 11-year-old boys were taken to a summer camp in Oklahoma and pitted against each other in competitions for prizes. What started out as typical games of baseball and tug-of-war turned into violent night raids and fistfights, proving that humans in groups form tribal identities that create conflict. This is the basic outline of a research study many are still familiar with today: the Robbers Cave experiment. But it's only one part of the story. My guest dug into the archival notes of this famous and controversial social experiment to find unknown and unreported details behind what really happened and why. Her name is Gina Perry and her book is The Lost Boys: Inside Muzafer Sherif's Robbers Cave Experiment. We begin our conversation by discussing what the Robbers Cave experiment purported to show and the influence the experiment has had on social psychology since. We then discuss the similarities between head researcher Muzafer Sherif's ideas about the behavior of boys in groups with those of William Golding, author of Lord of the Flies, and how both men's ideas were influenced by their personal experiences in war. We also dig into the general connection between children's summer camps and psychological studies in the 19th century. Then turning to the Robbers Cave experiment itself, Gina shares how that experiment wasn't Sherif's first attempt at this kind of field study, and how it had been preceded by another experiment in which the boys turned on the researchers. She describes how Sherif and his assistants attempted to get different results at Robbers Cave by goading the boys into greater conflict and how they got the boys to reconcile after whipping them up into a competitive frenzy. At the end of our conversation, Gina talks about finding the boys who were in the experiment and what these now grown men thought of the experience, and we discuss whether or not there's anything to be learned from Robbers Cave on the nature of group conflict.

In 1954 a social psychologist started a war between two teams of fifth graders at an Oklahoma summer camp. He wanted to investigate the sources of human conflict and how people might overcome them.

Joel Green is the author of the new book “Robber’s Cave: Truths, Legends, Recollections.” For anyone growing up in Lincoln, NE this was a landmark place in our youth. As a young boy I'd ride my bike over to the two-story farmhouse and pay the woman a quarter to turn the lights on in the cave. Then in those far simpler times my friends and I would explore and have fun in Robber's Cave. When our quarter was "expired" the woman would blink the lights to let us know that our time was up. Youth explored and played in the cave, had birthday parties, Boy and Girl Scout meetings, etc. After years of being closed from fear of break-ins and vandalism by the former owner, it is now open under new ownership. The Blue Blood Brewing Company is located over the cave and this unique micro-brewery and restaurant serves as the doorway to Robber's Cave.

The hidden story of a very weird psychological experiment. The guinea pigs are kids. But they have no idea what they were in for. Neither do their parents. Who were the lost boys?
The simplest nonlinear system is The Torus and it governs our daily lives into expected routines. It has one loose but stable outcome basin. If you commute to work, the outcome basin is most likely your arrival at work at an approximate time each day. The dynamics of The Torus are marked by self-similarity. Self-similarity, as a concept, firms & entire societies, may be similar day-to-day, year-to-year or generation to generation However, no one embodiment in any given cycle or iteration of the behavior of any given system is precisely like a previous embodiment. While your daily commute might seem routine and typical, it is always different, in fact, probably much more different than you realize! Routine dynamics inside a factory, an office, a hospital, a school or a prison have the character of a torus. CHAOS EXISTS OUTSIDE OF THE TORUS. Imagine a substantial alteration to your daily commute - perhaps something that changes your trip so drastically that it is now removed from the largely predictable, patterned Torus such as an accident or severe weather. In such situations in which the basin is no longer predictable, chaos ensues. SIMILARITY REPLACES SAMENESS. Even in high-tolerance manufacturing, there are similarities between items & not sameness. This dates back to the work of such quality control experts as W. E. Demming. Statistical variation always exists between items or processes. SAFETY & SAMENESS. When we expect things to be the same, things to follow a predictable sequence, we can easily overlook subtle, but very critical changes that alert us to compromised safety situations. Many people in the Twin Towers stayed at their desks for 4-minutes following the first plane crash. People simply thought that in a few minutes an “All Clear” would be issued or else struggled to accept the magnitude of the attack & continued to believe that their day was still within the parameters of The Torus. ROBBER'S CAVE EXPERIMENT. In the summer of 1954, social psychologist Muzafer Sherif examined what is now known as “Realistic Conflict Theory” which accounts for group conflict, negative prejudices, and stereotypes as being the result of competition between groups for desired resources. Sherif's field experiment demonstrated devolving The Torus to chaos & involved 2 groups of 12 y.o. boys at Robbers Cave State Park in Oklahoma. FIRST PHASE. Boys randomly assigned to 2 groups & encouraged to bond with their group. They did not know of the existence of the other group. One group was “The Eagles” & the other “The Rattlers” and such logos / words were on their shirts & flags. SECOND PHASE. Competition stage where friction between the groups was to occur for the next 4-6 days such as baseball games & tug-of-war. Winners were heavily awarded & cumulative scores were kept. Prejudice increased from name calling to physical altercations. The Eagles burned the Rattlers flag & then the Rattlers ransacked the Eagle's cabin & stole private property. The groups became so aggressive that the researchers had to separate them. The study confirmed Sherif's Realistic Conflict Theory. However, the theory wasn't observed in the block-deep lines of people seeking a coveted spot on a boat during the 9/11/01 Lower Manhattan rescue. FOLLOW DR.
