Conflict is common and costly. Racial, religious, and political groups waste time, money, energy, and even lives when conflicts stagnate or escalate. But researchers still can't predict when groups will cooperate and solve problems quickly, or when others with similar grievances will avoid the issues, allow them to escalate, or erupt into violence. This research looks at the psychological processes that shape so-called 'irrational' conflict behaviour. It tests the idea that group-level factors, such as identity, power, and norms, can explain the logic of 'senseless' apathy, grumbling, and violence. The results will improve our ability both to predict conflict dynamics and to manage them.

冲突很常见，而且代价高昂。 当冲突停滞或升级时，种族、宗教和政治团体会浪费时间、金钱、精力，甚至生命。 但研究人员仍然无法预测群体何时会合作并迅速解决问题，或者其他有类似不满的人何时会回避问题、允许问题升级或爆发暴力。 这项研究着眼于形成所谓“非理性”冲突行为的心理过程。 它检验了这样一种观点，即群体层面的因素，如身份、权力和规范，可以解释“无意义”的冷漠、抱怨和暴力的逻辑。 结果将提高我们预测冲突动态和管理冲突的能力。
