Studying frustration A psychologist wants to study the effects of failure and frustration on the relationships among members of a work team. She forms a team of students, brings them to the psychology lab, and has them play a game that requires teamwork.

The game is rigged so that they lose regularly.

The psychologist observes the students through a one-way window and notes the changes in their behavior during an evening of game playing. Can the psychologist generalize the results of her study to a team of employees that spends months developing a new product that never works right and is finally abandoned by their company? Explain.
