Conflict is common, whether between racial, religious, and political groups, or between businesses and firms. Yet conflict frays tempers, wastes time, costs money, and hurts people. Destructive conflict escalation often occurs despite rational plans and good intentions. This process is poorly understood. The present research applies new psychological research on understanding motivation to improve our understanding of how good intentions fail and conflict escalates. By studying how conflict drains our ability to exercise willpower and increases our vulnerability to situational cues that promote confrontation, we will be able to develop interventions to reduce unwanted conflict escalation.

冲突是常见的，无论是在种族，宗教和政治团体之间，还是在企业和公司之间。 然而，冲突会激怒人，浪费时间，耗费金钱，伤害人。 尽管有合理的计划和良好的意图，但破坏性冲突升级经常发生。 人们对这一过程知之甚少。 本研究运用心理学关于理解动机的最新研究成果，以提高我们对良好意图失败和冲突升级的理解。 通过研究冲突如何耗尽我们行使意志力的能力，并增加我们对促进对抗的情境线索的脆弱性，我们将能够制定干预措施，以减少不必要的冲突升级。
