Abstract
Intergroup conflict is a socio-political issue with great opportunity for improvement. The jigsaw classroom program is known for its effectiveness at intergroup bias reduction in school settings. Utilizing aspects of this program, the present study examined the applicability of the jigsaw classroom program to a more general population. A total of 186 introductory psychology students at Washington State University completed questionnaires and an information-sharing task. The results suggest that the effectiveness of the jigsaw classroom program is applicable to outside of classroom settings. Further studies are necessary to examine effects of informationsharing styles and group sizes on the effectiveness of the generalized jigsaw classroom program.
