This video goes over the famous Robbers Cave experiment led by social psychologist Mazufer Sherif. The Robbers Cave experiment investigated the hypothesis that intergroup conflict occurs when two groups are in competition for limited resources. Set against the backdrop of the end of the second World War and just before racial desegregation in the USA.
