Classic Study; Robbers Cave

Classic Study; Robbers Cave

AdvantagesGetting Started

  • High ecological validity; it took place in a natural environment, not a lab
  • Ethics; staff intervened when health and safety was at risk
  • Individual variables; the boys were carefully selected

Disadvantages

  • Ethics; the boys can't have been debriefed
  • Awareness; some boys were aware of the audio equipment and note-taking
  • Credibility; staff may have encouraged the hostility
  • Generalisability; a small, all male, sample was used
  • Ethics; creating delibrate prejudice and put the boys in possibly harmful situations

Evaluation

The boys were in a natural environment meaning the experiment had high ecological validity with realistic results. The experiment isn't very generalisable as a small sample was used and it was all male, so we cannot assume that everyone will act the same way the boys did.
