Abstract: 
    



The purpose of this intervention was to investigate the effectiveness of
 Mutual Intergroup Differentiation Model on altering youth groups’ 
intergroup enmity in the context of East Timor.
 The model encourages groups working together in a complementary fashion
 by recognizing and valuing mutual parties within the context of an 
interdependent cooperative task or common, superordinate goals. 
Participants consisted of members of Taibesi and Becora youth groups 
which have long history of violent conflict. The intervention lasted for
 eight consecutive days and its primary measures were semi-structured 
interviews and observation. Findings indicated that mutual intergroup 
differentiation model worked on the platform of trust, interactive 
problem solving, and superordinate goals in mixed-member groups.
