Robbers Cave04:49

Robbers Cave

14.9K
During the 1950s, the landmark Robbers Cave experiment demonstrated that when groups must compete with one another, intergroup conflict, hostility, and even violence may result. At the Oklahoman summer camp, two troops of boys—termed the Rattlers and the Eagles—took part in a week-long tournament. During this time, their negativity culminated in derogatory name-calling, fistfights, and even vandalism and destruction of property. However, this work also revealed that such tension...

Aggression01:47

Aggression

30.5K
Humans engage in aggression when they seek to cause harm or pain to another person. Aggression takes two forms depending on one’s motives: hostile or instrumental. Hostile aggression is motivated by feelings of anger with intent to cause pain; a fight in a bar with a stranger is an example of hostile aggression. In contrast, instrumental aggression is motivated by achieving a goal and does not necessarily involve intent to cause pain (Berkowitz, 1993); a contract killer who murders for...

Surveys

17.1K
Often, psychologists develop surveys as a means of gathering data. Surveys are lists of questions to be answered by research participants, and can be delivered as paper-and-pencil questionnaires, administered electronically, or conducted verbally. Generally, the survey itself can be completed in a short time, and the ease of administering a survey makes it easy to collect data from a large number of people.

Secondary Motives: Affiliation Motivation and Aggression Motivation

744
Affiliation motivation is the intrinsic desire to connect with others and belong to a social group, which plays a crucial role in forming and maintaining personal relationships. This type of motivation is essential for psychological well-being, as it provides individuals with a sense of community and support. An example of this is a student who joins a study group in order to feel a sense of connection. People with high affiliation motivation actively seek social approval, take satisfaction in...

Cognitive Dissonance01:38

Cognitive Dissonance

37.6K
Social psychologists have documented that feeling good about ourselves and maintaining positive self-esteem is a powerful motivator of human behavior (Tavris & Aronson, 2008). In the United States, members of the predominant culture typically think very highly of themselves and view themselves as good people who are above average on many desirable traits (Ehrlinger, Gilovich, & Ross, 2005). Often, our behavior, attitudes, and beliefs are affected when we experience a threat to our...

Stereotype Content Model02:16

Stereotype Content Model

15.5K
The Stereotype Content Model (SCM) was first proposed by Susan Fiske and her colleagues (Fiske, Cuddy, Glick & Xu, 2002; see also Fiske, 2012 and Fiske, 2017). The SCM specifies that when someone encounters a new group, they will stereotype them based on two metrics: warmth—or that group’s perceived intent, and how likely they are to provide help or inflict harm—and competence—or their ability to carry out that objective. Depending on the warmth-competence...

Area of Science:

  • Psychology
  • Military Psychology
  • Psychiatry

Background:

  • Hostility and its direction are crucial psychological factors.
  • Understanding these factors in military populations and those with depression is important for mental health research.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To compare hostility levels and direction in Territorial Army personnel, regular Army personnel, patients with minor depression, and controls.
  • To investigate potential differences in intropunitive hostility (self-criticism, guilt) and extropunitive hostility.

Main Methods:

  • Comparative study design.
  • Inclusion of four groups: Territorial Army (n=26), regular Army (n=23), minor depression patients (n=23), and controls (n=30).
  • Assessment of hostility subscales and direction of hostility.

Main Results:

  • No significant differences in hostility subscales were found between Army personnel and controls.
  • Depressive group exhibited significantly higher scores in self-criticism, guilt, and total hostility compared to Territorial Army personnel.
  • Army personnel (both regular and Territorial) displayed more extropunitive hostility than the control group.

Conclusions:

  • Indian Territorial Army personnel may have a lower proneness to depression, indicated by lower scores on self-criticism and guilt.
  • Military training could contribute to a more extropunitive direction of hostility in Army personnel.
  • Findings suggest distinct psychological profiles related to hostility in military and depressive populations.
