Aronson's Aim? | To eliminate prejudice between black and white students in a school in Texas, USA. |
Aronsons Method? | He created a technique called the *Jigsaw Method* which menat students were put into mixed-race groups. Each individual had to take responsibilty for a part of the lesson meaning they had to become experts on their part and then pass on the knowledge to another group of students within the class. |
Aronson's Results? | The technique was proving successful due to each student being resposible for their own learning as well as the learning for others. |
Aronson's Conclusion? | Aronson interviewed the students afterwards and found that the method had: Enhanced their self-esteem; Increased their liking of their classmates; improved their perceptions of the other racial group within the class |
Aronson's Evaluation of the Study? | The study took place in only Texas, USA, which meant that the results cannot be generalised cross-culturally. The students were decieved however the benefit of reducing prejudice and discrimination outweighs the cost of deception, however if participants didn't co-opperate the study would increase prejudice. The prejudice may have decreased in the school however the views may noy be generalisable outside the settings and to others. |
Aronson's Evaluation of the Theory? | The *Jigsaw method*, if one or more people refuse to co-opperate, the task would be incomplete, this could increase prejudice towards those who did not co-opperate. Although the *Jigsaw method* has been proven to work in reducing prejudice, it may not be generalisable to other racial groups for example, the people that took part may be considered as an exception. |
