Think of a time when you experienced intergroup conflict: when you belonged to a group that had a rival group. It may be a time in your past, but more likely you can consider one of your current groups, for who does not belong to a group that sometimes opposes another group? The group may also be a categorical one, where membership is based on similarity of members in terms of some demographic quality (e.g., race, ethnicity) or a dynamic group in which members interact with one another on a regular basis (Wilder & Simon, 1998). First, describe, briefly, the groups (your group and the rival group). What were/are the structural characteristics of the two groups (size, organization, goals) and the overall values of the group? Second, what are/were members of the two groups like, as individuals and as group members? Third, what caused conflict between the groups? Can the conflict be traced back to a precipitating event or issue? Fourth, do/did the members of the two groups categorize each other? That is, do they display such tendencies as the ingroup-outgroup bias, stereotyping, and double-standards? Fifth, how do/did you personally respond in the situation
