3. Hastorf and Cantril (who wrote “They Saw a Game”) say: “In brief, the data here indicate that there is no such ‘thing’ as a ‘game’ existing ‘out there’ in its own right which people merely ‘observe.’ The ‘game’ ‘exists’ for a person and is experienced by him only in so far as certain happenings have significances in terms of his purpose.” Describe the context: what is the game they examine in the article, and how was the game perceived by different people?

6. Think back to the study covered in our final lecture about how status beliefs can be created (in which the researcher created the S and Q response style groups). Imagine that a corrupt social scientist is trying to persuade Americans that there are two groups of people: the Aerons and the Boreons. Further, they are trying to position the Aerons as higher-status than the Boreons.
