Hastorf and Cantril "They Saw a Game"


Question: How does your group affiliation affect your memory/opinion?

Hypothesis: They probably hypothesized that the subjects from one school would accuse the opposing players of starting the scuffle.

Type of Research Method: Case Study/Testing; Survey after showing them the video of the fight

Ethical Issues Involved: There were no ethical issues.

Basic Understanding: This is really confusing because the information we found was contradicting and the following is our rough estimation.
Princeton and Dartmouth played an emotional football game which ended in violent foul play. Three years later Hastorf and Cantril conducted a study where they had the students watch the game film. After the film the subjects were given a survey asking students from each school “who started the foul play?” The results supported the hypothesis strongly.
