Each group is given the same tasks to be completed within the same timeframe. However, before and after every task, each group is given a brief talk by their senior instructor;
- Group A is told "you're the best of the best because you're taller... because you're smarter... because you're stronger..."etc.
- Group B is told "you're not as good as Group A, but you're way better than Group C... because you're taller... because you're smarter..."etc.
- Group C is told "you're not as good as Group A and Group B because you're not as tall... not as smart... not as strong... not as fast..."etc.
After 90 days into project: new world, preliminary data are showing expected results. However, interestingly unexpected are the following observations;
- Group B reluctantly adopts a passive strategy; exhibiting high tension and insecurity toward decision making - allocating more time to planning, and less upon execution of plans... or otherwise omitting to decide and deferring to Group A decisions to further develop their overall strategy.
- Group C immediately adopts a risky "nothing to lose" strategy; exhibiting initiative, organizational ability and heavy competitive-aggression toward task completion... more so than Group B.
- Group A adopts an expected strategy; exhibiting alpha-male qualities, superior attitudes, and assertive aggression toward both Group B and C, and toward task completion... and, although less physically aggressive than Group C; clearly Group A is exhibiting more overall leadership ability.
Preliminary findings are proving favorable enough to continue studies. More test results are incoming, as interesting new observations are being made that might be the answer to a peaceful and prosperous global society. ~ CR
