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...

Group Design

8.9K
The most basic experimental design involves two groups: the experimental group and the control group. The two groups are designed to be the same except for one difference— experimental manipulation. The experimental group gets the experimental manipulation—that is, the treatment or variable being tested—and the control group does not. Since experimental manipulation is the only difference between the experimental and control groups, we can be sure that any differences between...

Reliability and Validity01:29

Reliability and Validity

12.7K
Reliability and validity are two important considerations that must be made with any type of data collection. Reliability refers to the ability to consistently produce a given result. In the context of psychological research, this would mean that any instruments or tools used to collect data do so in consistent, reproducible ways.

Stereotypes, Prejudice, and Discrimination

90.1K
Humans are very diverse and although we share many similarities, we also have many differences. The social groups we belong to help form our identities (Tajfel, 1974). These differences may be difficult for some people to reconcile, which may lead to prejudice toward people who are different. Prejudice is a negative attitude and feeling toward an individual based solely on one’s membership in a particular social group (Allport, 1954; Brown, 2010). Prejudice is common against people who...

Thematic Layering in GIS

33
In the past, planning projects such as schools or public facilities required extensive manual effort to gather and compile data. Information such as property boundaries, soil characteristics, road networks, zoning regulations, and flood zones had to be sourced individually from courthouses, utility providers, and registry offices. Assembling these datasets into a coherent format often took several months, delaying project timelines.The introduction of Geographic Information Systems (GIS)...

Design Example: Alignment of a Road Line Using GIS

43
The alignment of a road line using Geographic Information Systems (GIS) is a critical process in civil engineering, combining advanced technology with practical decision-making. This methodology begins with the collection of geospatial data, including information on land cover, geomorphology, drainage patterns, slope, and contour details. Such data is typically acquired through satellite imagery and GIS tools, offering a comprehensive understanding of the terrain.Once the data is gathered, it...

Summary

Redrawing school district boundaries can significantly decrease racial and income segregation in schools. This method is more effective than redrawing attendance zones alone, especially in areas with high segregation levels.

Area of Science:

  • Education Policy
  • Computational Social Science
  • Urban Planning

Background:

  • US schools exhibit significant racial and income segregation.
  • Current policies like redrawing attendance zones have limited impact as most segregation occurs between districts.
  • Addressing inter-district segregation is crucial for promoting school diversity.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop and evaluate a method for redrawing school district boundaries to reduce segregation.
  • To assess the effectiveness of this method compared to redrawing attendance zones.
  • To explore the application of the method in school district consolidations.

Main Methods:

  • Adaptation of Markov Chain Monte Carlo algorithms from legislative redistricting.
  • Redrawing school district boundaries while considering criteria such as distance to school and existing facilities.

  • Focus on New Jersey, a state with high levels of student segregation.

    • Main Results:

    • Redrawing school districts can reduce over 40% of existing segregation in New Jersey counties.
    • Redrawing attendance zones alone reduces segregation by less than 5%.
    • The methodology can be applied to reduce segregation in proposed school district mergers.

    Conclusions:

    • Redrawing school district boundaries is a potent strategy for mitigating school segregation.
    • This approach offers a more effective solution than solely adjusting attendance zones.
    • The method provides a viable framework for policy interventions aimed at increasing school diversity.
