The Robbers Cave experiment
You always provide very insightful research, and I enjoyed reading your post this week. I have a question about the statement; “Humans have normalized the classifications we use to define ourselves”. Are the classifications self-imposed or externally imposed? What are your thoughts based on the research listed below and what the Robbers Cave experiment found?
The Robbers Cave experiment showed that hostility can arise between two groups in conflict and competition for scarce resources. Even if, Sheriff’s primary objective in conducting the Robber Cave Experiment was to investigate how members of a particular social group interact and evolve. Has the world or this country over the last ten years resurfaced and shown its head on the purpose or outcome of this experiment, or are we born with this trait, or are we all members of both intergroups and intragroup? An easy way to define intergroup conflict is to think about intergroup conflict vs. intragroup conflict: intergroup conflict is two teams fighting against each other, whereas intragroup conflict is two or more members of the same team fighting each other. I wanted to share some research I found when I went back to research this experiment a little deeper.
Racial resentment of whites toward blacks measured in this manner appears to be less prevalent among younger people (Nteta & Greenlee 2013, Maxwell & Schulte 2018). However, its prevalence or relevance to political attitudes and behavior in society has not declined. Racial resentment appears to play a larger role in public opinion in the era of the first black president, Obama, and the racially inflammatory rhetoric of the Trump campaign and administration. Even before Obama became a presidential contender, there were signs that racial resentment was becoming more, not less, relevant for predicting votes among whites in the South (Knuckey 2017). Racial resentment appears to have exerted a weaker effect on approval of Obama in 2012 than in 2009 (Pasek et al. 2014, p. 288), but levels of racial resentment among whites against blacks did not decline between 2008 and 2012 (Pasek et al. 2014, p. 291). So, based on this research, are the classifications normal or intrawoven into the fabric of the intergroup definition which then carries over into the intragroup conflict?
One Child Policy
In addition to liberalizing its economy under the Reform and Opening
Up policies of Deng Xiaoping, China also experienced a profound change in its demographic patterns in part
driven by the imposition of the One Child policy. In this section, we adjust the model from question 2 to
account for these demographic changes.
(a) (5 points) In sheet 3, construct an alternative path for Chinese population (column B, rows 15 to 110)
as follows. For 1955 to 2019, use the population growth data from Penn World tables. Then, from 2019
to 2050, assume a constant growth rate of -1% (n = -0.01). Based on the Penn World tables data what
was the average growth rate of China’s population each of the 20-year periods 1955-1975, 1975-1995,
and 1995-2015? (Note: columns C, D, E, and F should update automatically when you fill in column
B).
(b) (5 points) Construct the deduced variables in columns G through M using the new path for population
growth. How does the new path for population growth affect the growth rate of total output? What
about the growth rate of output per worker? For both variables, is there a permanent (i.e. on the
balanced growth path) effect to the growth rate from this change in population growth?
(c) (10 points) Using the growth accounting procedure, what is the contribution of capital, labor, and
technology growth to Chinese growth in questions 2 and 3. Please fill in these values in columns O, P,
and Q for sheets 2a and 3. Explain the differences
