Question 1

A suitable international superordinate goal might be to

Accepted Answer

Preserving the natural environment on a global scale is a goal that requires international cooperation and commitment. This goal is important for the survival and well-being of all countries and their citizens, as environmental issues, such as climate change, pollution, and the depletion of natural resources, have global impacts. Addressing these issues requires collaboration among nations, and a shared commitment to protecting the natural environment for the present and future generations. Therefore, this is a suitable international superordinate goal. The other options do not qualify as international superordinate goals as they are either focused on individual countries or lack the global significance required for a superordinate goal.

Question 2

The creation of superordinate goals has been shown to be effective in reducing

Accepted Answer

The creation of superordinate goals, which require the cooperation and mutual effort of multiple groups, has been shown to reduce intergroup conflict by promoting a sense of shared identity and interdependence. This approach has been successful in various settings, including school desegregation, international peace negotiations, and workplace diversity programs. Superordinate goals can also lead to increased positive attitudes and behaviors toward members of other groups.

Question 4

Regarding the study conducted with 11-year-old boys at a summer camp,which of the following statements is FALSE?

Accepted Answer

The false statement is C because tensions between the groups were not reduced through meetings between the leaders but rather through the introduction of superordinate goals that required cooperation between the groups, such as solving problems or facing emergencies that affected everyone.

Question 5

Intergroup conflict between two groups of boys at summer camp was most effectively reduced by

Accepted Answer

Emergencies that require the cooperation of both groups create a shared goal and a sense of interdependence, which can reduce intergroup conflict. The other options are less effective because they do not necessarily create opportunities for the groups to cooperate and work together. Intense athletic competition may actually increase competitive feelings and exacerbate the conflict. Meetings between group leaders and sharing meals together may help to create positive relationships, but they may not address the underlying issues causing the conflict.

Question 7

Which of the following would be an important factor in helping peacekeepers constructively engage with people from other nationalities?

Accepted Answer

Superordinate goals are goals that require the cooperation and coordination of people from different groups to achieve. By working towards a common goal, individuals from different nationalities can develop a sense of shared identity and cooperation, which can help in constructive engagement. Cognitive dissonance would not be helpful in this situation as it refers to the discomfort caused by holding contradictory beliefs or values. Status inequalities and the creation of positive stereotypes could actually create barriers and reinforce prejudices.

Question 8

Dealing with the current global energy and food crisis,preserving the natural environment on a global scale,and finding ways to deal with the continuing threat posed by terrorism and religious extremism are examples of

Accepted Answer

International superordinate goals refer to goals that require cooperation and collaboration among different nations for their achievement. Dealing with the current global energy and food crisis, preserving the natural environment on a global scale, and finding ways to deal with the continuing threat posed by terrorism and religious extremism are examples of such goals. They require countries to work together and put aside their own individual interests for the greater good of the world.

Question 9

Aronson's jigsaw classroom created

Accepted Answer

Aronson's jigsaw classroom was specifically designed to break down status inequalities among students and create superordinate goals that required collaboration among students from different backgrounds. It focused on creating a cooperative learning environment where students learned together, rather than competing against each other. While individuating information was a component of the jigsaw technique, it was not the primary objective.

Question 10

Which of the following pioneered a way to apply superordinate goals to ordinary classrooms in the form of the jigsaw classroom?

Accepted Answer

Elliot Aronson pioneered the jigsaw classroom, a method of teaching where students work in teams to learn and teach material to one another. The technique uses the idea of superordinate goals, where students must work together to achieve a common goal, to encourage cooperation and reduce prejudice among classmates.

Question 11

Researchers were able to finally reduce intergroup conflict between the "Rattlers" and "Eagles" camp groups by

Accepted Answer

The reduction of intergroup conflict between the "Rattlers" and "Eagles" was achieved by creating a situation (damaging the water supply) that required both groups to work together towards a common goal, demonstrating the effectiveness of superordinate goals in reducing intergroup hostility.

Question 12

In order to get the "Rattlers" and the "Eagles" to cooperate with each other during summer camp,researchers used which of the following techniques?

Accepted Answer

Superordinate goals involve creating a shared goal or common enemy that requires both groups to work together towards a common outcome. This would be the most effective technique for getting the two groups to cooperate with each other during summer camp.

Question 13

In a small town were two wealthy families that had always competed and feuded with each other.When a tornado devastated the town,the two families worked together to rebuild the town.They cooperated because of

Accepted Answer

The cooperation between the two families can be explained by a superordinate goal, which is a shared goal that can only be achieved through cooperation among different groups. In this case, the goal of rebuilding the town after the tornado was more important than the feud between the two families, and they had to work together to achieve it.

Question 14

A study at a summer camp with two groups of 11­year­old boys,who called themselves the "Rattlers" and the "Eagles" was conducted by Sherif as an experiment on how

Accepted Answer

The study was conducted to observe how intergroup conflict can be reduced. The groups were created to induce conflict, and Sherif attempted to use different techniques to reduce this conflict between the groups. The study demonstrated the effects of intergroup competition and the potential for reducing conflict through common goals and cooperation.

Question 15

In order to succeed in Aronson's jigsaw classroom,students must

Accepted Answer

The jigsaw classroom is based on cooperative learning, where students work together towards a common goal. Thus, to succeed in this environment, students must cooperate with one another instead of competing against each other or setting individual goals. Additionally, groupthink should be avoided in the jigsaw classroom, as all students are expected to contribute their unique perspectives to the group discussion.

Question 16

Accepted Answer

The answer of If integrated schools provide equal-status contact,what is...

Question 17

A goal that exceeds or overrides all others,that is,a goal that renders other goals relatively less important is referred to as a(n)__________ goal.

Accepted Answer

A superordinate goal is a goal that is more important than other goals and can override them.

Question 18

According to research,prejudice became worse when schools were first integrated due to all of the following factors EXCEPT for the

Accepted Answer

Research has shown that prejudice became worse when schools were first integrated due to unequal-status contact among students, the competitive nature of the schools, and minority children entering these schools less prepared than the children already attending these schools. However, the creation of mutual interdependence among students has been found to reduce prejudice and promote positive relationships.

Question 19

The unity that prevailed in the United States for months after the September 11th terrorist attacks as people from all "walks of life" cooperated to help the victims and rebuild Ground Zero was a testament to the power of

Accepted Answer

The unity that prevailed after the September 11th attacks was a result of a common goal or purpose that transcended individual differences and brought people together. This is an example of superordinate goals, which are goals that can only be achieved through cooperation and collaboration between different groups. Cognitive dissonance, status inequalities, and positive stereotypes do not adequately explain this phenomenon.

Question 20

Subordinate goals have been shown to do all of the following EXCEPT

Accepted Answer

Subordinate goals are designed to increase interdependence between groups by giving them a common goal that they must work together to achieve. Therefore, they would not decrease mutual interdependence among groups.
