About This Item
Melbourne: Scribe Publications, 2018. Paperback octavo, very good condition, photos inside covers, tiny bump top spine, small scuff flyleaf (sticker mark, minor edgewear corner tips. 375 pp. Gina Perry describes a group of boys who in 1954 attended a remote summer camp where they were split into two groups, and encouraged to bully, harass, and demonise each other. The test results would make history as one of social psychology's classic and most controversial studies: the Robbers Cave experiment. The author, an Australian psychologist and popular writer, critically examines the experiment and its consequences, tracing the story of psychologist Muzafer Sherif, a troubled outsider who struggled to craft an experiment that would chase away his own personal demons. Using archival material and new interviews, the author puts together a story of drama, mutiny, and intrigue that has never been told before.
