Robbers Cave Experiment: Unmasking the Roots of Tribal Conflicts

Video Description

Discover how realistic conflict theory explains the roots of tribal conflicts in this 6:19 minute video lesson. In the summer of 1954, a school bus with a group of 12-year old boys arrived at Robbers Cave State Park in Oklahoma. The boys thought they were going camping. Their parents at home believed the sponsored trip had something to do with leadership. None of them knew that they were actually part of a controversial experiment on realistic conflict resolution.
