6. Theories in
Intergroup Conflicts

7. 1. Realistic Conflict Theory
this theory argues that
the hostility between
two groups results from
real or perceived
conflicting goals that
generate intergroup
competition.
Muzafer Sherif
(1935)

8. Realistic Group Conflict Theory
• This theory was validated by the famous study “ The
Robbers Cave Experiment” of Sherif and collegues
(1961) involving the boys in a summer camp.

9. The Robbers
Cave Experiment
•He divided a Boy Scout camp
into two groups, the Eagles
and the Rattlers.
•After helping the groups to
each become cohesive, he
introduced competitive
games such as football, tug-
of-war among others.
•Very quickly and almost
automatically, intergroup
hostility emerged between
the two camps.

10. What Sherif Did??
Crisis Brings the Groups
Together
"The experimenters arranged
for a series of emergencies.
For instance, the water supply
broke down, and the boys had
to work jointly if they wanted
to have water to drink.

11. The Outcome
•After a number of such
events, group hostility was
eventually reduced,
friendships developed
across group lines, and the
superordinate goals
became effective in
unifying the previously
hostile groups.

12. What is
Superodinate
Group Goals?
•refer to goals that require the
cooperation of two or more people
or groups to achieve, which
usually results in rewards to the
groups.

13. Realistic Conflict Theory
In Summary:
when two groups want to achieve the same
goal but cannot have it, hostility is produced
between them.
When there is limited resources, then this
leads to conflict, prejudice and
discrimination between groups who seek that
common resource.
Once hostility has been aroused, it is very
difficult to return to normal relations and an
ongoing feud can arise
Mustafa Sherif

14. Realistic Conflict Theory
by: Sherif
Realistic Conflict Theory:
Intergroup conflicts develops from competition for
limited Resources.

15. 2. Social Identity Theory
The way we define ourselves
in terms of our group
membership.
When we are belong to a
group, we are likely to derive
our sense of identity, at least
in part of the groups.

16. Social Identity Theory
This is another factor in intergroup
conflict show strongly members
identify with their own group.
When interest are opposed, strong
identification can intensify
conflict between groups.
Example:
Students often have a strong
identity with their school.

17. Social Identity Theory
How do you experience
Conflict?
Belonging to an in-group makes
one aware of the outgrip (other
schools) that heightens
competition.
But without identifying yourself
with n in-group, you will not
experience the conflict.

18. Relative Deprivation Theory
• is a feeling of deficiency
based on a comparison with
relevant other who are
seen as doing better than
yourself. (Crosby, 1976).
• A person or group may feel
deprived when comparing
themselves with another
person or group.

19. Social Dominance Theory
• is the desire to see one’s own
group dominate others.
• the focus is both individuals and
structural factors that contribute
to the hierarchical organization of
society.
For example:
males over females
Christian over Muslims.
Managers over employees
