This book is about reactions to interpersonal conflict such as
avoiding, negotiating, and fighting. It breaks away from the
prevailing assumption that conflict behaviours are mutually
isolated reactions having mutually isolated effects. Instead,
reactions are viewed as components of complex conflict behaviour
that influence each other's impact on the substantive and
relational outcomes. The simultaneous and sequential occurrence of,
for example, problem solving and fighting should therefore be
studied together and not separately. The author presents a ladder
of stepwise increases in theoretical quality, and designs the
sequence of chapters in such a way that the theoretical value
increases step by step. The lower steps lead to the description of
behavioural components and to a model of integrative and
distributive dimensions. The upper steps lead to the dimensions of
dual concern for one's own and the other's goals and to complexity
explanations in terms of the novel paradigm of conglomerated
conflict behaviour. The chapters are summarised into thirty-four
interrelated propositions. Six empirical studies demonstrate the
validity of crucial propositions at each level of the theoretical
framework. This monograph primarily reaches out to an academic
readership. However, due to its clear structure, its comprehensive
propositions, its frequent use of figures, and its glossary, the
book will also provide an invaluable resource for any student and
practitioner interested in conflict management and negotiation.
