Two groups at your university are at odds. Design an intervention based on the research by Ross and colleagues regarding "naïve realism" that might get them to change their opinions of the other group
What will be an ideal response?
Answer: Ross and colleagues showed people opinions that were labeled as the other side's opinions, and people automatically didn't like them. However, the opinions had really come from the same side of the political argument. Perhaps by doing this, then showing both sides both sets of arguments, the conflict can be resolved. The book text says, "The hope is that once negotiators on both sides become fully aware of this phenomenon and how it impedes conflict resolution, a reasonable compromise will be more likely" (p. 13).
