Robbers Cave04:49

Robbers Cave

14.3K
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...

In- and Out-Groups

39.1K
People all belong to a gender, race, age, and social economic group. These groups provide a powerful source of our identity and self-esteem (Tajfel & Turner, 1979) and serve as our in-groups. An in-group is a group that we identify with or see ourselves as belonging to.

Social Proof00:52

Social Proof

27.7K
Social proof is a form of persuasion based on comparison and conformity. People compare their behavior and actions to what others are doing and will change to conform to do what their peers do.

Surveys

14.8K
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.

Groupthink01:34

Groupthink

44.5K
When in group settings, we are often influenced by the thoughts, feelings, and behaviors around us. Groupthink is another phenomenon of conformity where modification of the opinions of members in a group aligns with what they believe is the group consensus (Janis, 1972). In such situations, the group often takes action that individuals would not perform outside the group setting because groups make more extreme decisions than individuals do. Moreover, groupthink can hinder opposing trains of...

Social Loafing01:37

Social Loafing

34.8K
Another way in which a group presence can affect performance is social loafing—the exertion of less effort by a person working together with a group. Social loafing occurs when our individual performance cannot be evaluated separately from the group. Thus, group performance declines on easy tasks (Karau & Williams, 1993). Essentially individual group members loaf and let other group members pick up the slack. Because each individual’s efforts cannot be evaluated,...

Summary
This summary is machine-generated.

Collaborating with others can increase dishonest behavior. However, research shows that dishonesty levels are similar whether collaborating with an ingroup or outgroup member.

Area of Science:

  • Social Psychology
  • Behavioral Economics
  • Ethics

Background:

  • Collaborative activities can heighten the propensity for dishonest behavior.
  • The specific factors influencing this phenomenon, particularly the identity of collaborators, remain underexplored.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To replicate the established effect of collaboration on dishonesty.
  • To investigate whether collaborating with ingroup members, compared to outgroup members, amplifies dishonest behavior.

Main Methods:

  • Three pre-registered studies (N=782) employed the sequential dyadic die-rolling paradigm.
  • The paradigm was administered in both laboratory (student sample) and field (community samples) settings.
  • Participants formed dyads with either ingroup or outgroup members to assess dishonesty in reported dice rolls for potential winnings.

Main Results:

  • The studies successfully replicated the dishonest collaboration effect, demonstrating its robustness across different samples and contexts.
  • No significant difference in dishonesty was observed when collaborating with ingroup members versus outgroup members.
  • The findings indicate that ingroup-outgroup dynamics do not amplify collaborative dishonesty in this paradigm.

Conclusions:

  • Collaborative dishonesty is a robust phenomenon, consistently observed across various settings.
  • The identity of the collaborator (ingroup vs. outgroup) does not appear to be a significant factor in modulating the extent of dishonesty.
  • Further research is needed to explore alternative mechanisms driving collaborative dishonesty in the absence of an intergroup effect.
