- Correll: Shooter bias
Which two studies do you use for an ‘origins of conflict and resolution’ question?
- Sherif: Robber’s cave
- Dabbs: Testosterone in prisoners
Which two studies do you use for a ‘Biological approach to Group Dynamics’ question?
- Dabbs: Testosterone in prisoners
- Albert: Castrated rats
Which two studies do you use for a ‘Cognitive approach to Group Dynamics’ question?
- Correll: Shooter bias

Which two studies do you use for a ‘Sociocultural approach to Group Dynamics’ question?
- Sherif: Robber’s cave
- Tajfel: Minimal group paradigm
Which two studies do you use for a ‘research methods in Group Dynamics’ question?
- Dabbs: Testosterone in prisoners (correlational)
- Sherif: Robber’s cave (field experiment)
Which two studies do you use for an ‘ethics in Group Dynamics’ question?
- Sherif: Robber’s cave

Within research methods, how do you link the two studies?
Dabbs (correlational research):
- Correlation does not imply causation
- Therefore doesn’t provide evidence to properly support
Sherif (field experiment):
- Can have causation
