9309942 Pruitt Escalation, which can be defined as change toward the use of more extreme tactics in conflict, is the source of the most important problems associated with conflict. We know from prior research that heavy escalation is usually accompanied by changes in perceptions of self (or own group) and of the other party, leading to progressive worsening of relations between the parties and further escalation in the next conflict. But the details of the conditions and processes that produce escalation are as yet unknown. This project will develop a new, ecologically valid laboratory method for studying the escalation of social conflict and will test some hypotheses derived from a preliminary theory of escalation. The new method, which has been successfully used in a preliminary study, corrects serious defects in past procedures for studying conflict. The research is designed to reveal the structure of escalation, its immediate psychological antecedents, and some of the conditions producing it. Two experiments will examine the effects of blaming the other party for persistent annoyance and relationships with that party. The rest of the work will involve the development of measures. New measures of escalation will be devised by having subjects rate the major tactics used to cope with the annoyance. Subjects will also rate these tactics on three dimensions that are believed to influence choices among them: effectiveness, normativeness, and likelihood of being resented. A multiple regression analysis will assess the importance of the dimensions under various conditions. Many psychological states wi ll also be measured. The research will advance knowledge of one of the most destructive forces in human experience, helping to interpret -- and hopefully eventually to control -- such phenomena as spouse battering, urban riots, and armed conflict between nations. om ` ` Baerwald 3.

小行星9309942 升级可以被定义为在冲突中使用更极端的战术，这是与冲突相关的最重要问题的根源。 我们从先前的研究中了解到，严重升级通常伴随着对自我（或自己的群体）和另一方的看法的变化，导致双方关系的逐步恶化，并在下一次冲突中进一步升级。 但是，导致冲突升级的条件和过程的细节尚不清楚。 该项目将开发一种新的、生态上有效的实验室方法，用于研究社会冲突的升级，并将测试从升级的初步理论中得出的一些假设。 这种新方法已成功地用于初步研究，纠正了过去研究冲突程序中的严重缺陷。 这项研究旨在揭示升级的结构，其直接的心理前因，以及产生它的一些条件。 两个实验将研究指责对方持续的烦恼和与对方的关系的影响。 其余的工作将涉及制定措施。 新的升级措施将通过让受试者评估用于科普烦恼的主要策略来设计。 受试者还将从三个维度对这些策略进行评分，这三个维度被认为会影响他们的选择：有效性、规范性和被怨恨的可能性。 多元回归分析将评估各种条件下各维度的重要性。 许多心理状态也将被测量。 这项研究将促进人类经验中最具破坏性的力量之一的知识，有助于解释-并希望最终控制-诸如配偶殴打，城市骚乱和国家之间的武装冲突等现象。 om "“ 贝尔瓦尔德 3.人力资源 D.材料重新预算 1. 1993财政年度SBER司储备金 2. 1994财政年度SBE向国会提出的请求 3.为SBE AD办公室和预算编制的1995财政年度预算 "“ !. !. !. !. !.
