The Lost Boys of Robber’s Cave (Classic)

In 1954, boys at a summer camp unknowingly participated in a psychological experiment that divided them into rival groups. Tensions escalated between the Rattlers and Eagles, leading to a dramatic nighttime raid. The narrative shifts as a crisis forces these boys to cooperate, showcasing how shared problems can mend divisions. Ethical questions arise about manipulating young participants without their knowledge, prompting reflections on the long-lasting impact of such studies. The legacy of this experiment continues to influence our understanding of human behavior.
