  •  In the classic simulation, BAFA BAFA, Alpha culture (modeled after classic Greek culture) and Beta culture (USA) meet, and typically they clash. Originally designed for the U. S. Navy, the object of the game is to decrease ethnocentrism. Results from almost 400 players showed that play increased ethnocentrism and dogmatism, but in addition, it increased motivation to learn more about other cultures. Authors suggest that lecture may be a better way to decrease ethnocentrism.
