Editor's Notes
- (Pittinsky and Simon 2007) In their article Intergroup leadership explored increasing positive intergroup attitudes – article was published at the time this work had been initiated. Pettigrew & Tropp (2006) 203 studies meta-analysis revealed that contact typically reduces intergroup prejudice even beyond immediate contact situation.
- Highly cohesive groups form a strong concurrence-seeking norm a phenomenon called by Janis as groupthink- often develop a stereotyped view of the otugroup as evil. Extension curriculum – committees that work – from leadership and civic engagement
- Campbells (1965) Campbells - Theory “Negative intergroup behavior may arise simply because the competition is for real resources Sherif et al.’s (1961)Robbers Cave Study – conflict reduced when groups have to achieve a goal that requires them to work together ( superordinate goal). Superordinate goal reduces in grop/outgroup distinctions and help group members recategorize their own group identity
