THE COGNITIVE REPRESENTATION OF RESPONSES TO SOCIAL CONFLICT THE DEVELOPMENT OF AN INTEGRATIVE TAXONOMY

THE COGNITIVE REPRESENTATION OF RESPONSES TO SOCIAL CONFLICT THE DEVELOPMENT OF AN INTEGRATIVE... The purpose of the present studies was to derive an integrative taxonomy of responses to social conflict. In Study 1, we had collegeage participants sort 33 responses to conflict, taken from various research domains, according to their similarities. From this, we generated two different classification systems a very simple lowdimensional system, obtained through multidimensional scaling and a complex highdimensional system, obtained through cluster analysis. To aid in the interpretation of the structures, in Study 2 we collected a set of ratings on each of the conflict responses. The results from Study 2 indicated that many of the labels used to describe conflict responses in past research could be used to describe some aspects of these taxonomies. However, no dimension or set of dimensions was sufficient to describe all classes of conflict responses. The results are discussed in terms of their larger theoretical and practical implications. http://www.deepdyve.com/assets/images/DeepDyve-Logo-lg.png International Journal of Conflict Management Emerald Publishing

Abstract

The purpose of the present studies was to derive an integrative taxonomy of responses to social conflict. In Study 1, we had collegeage participants sort 33 responses to conflict, taken from various research domains, according to their similarities. From this, we generated two different classification systems a very simple lowdimensional system, obtained through multidimensional scaling and a complex highdimensional system, obtained through cluster analysis. To aid in the interpretation of the structures, in Study 2 we collected a set of ratings on each of the conflict responses. The results from Study 2 indicated that many of the labels used to describe conflict responses in past research could be used to describe some aspects of these taxonomies. However, no dimension or set of dimensions was sufficient to describe all classes of conflict responses. The results are discussed in terms of their larger theoretical and practical implications.
