One finding of the study was that power in conflict, viewed through complexity science, has more dimensions than conflict theory alone has investigated to date. Some conflict theorists suggest that an impartial intervener can empower the less powerful (Barsky, 2007). Complexity science attributes ...
some of the limited resources that may contribute to conflicts between tenants and the complex owner include the limited space within the complex, the limited number of units, the money that tenants pay to the complex owner for rent, and so on. Ultimately, conflict theorists see this dynamic ...
Conflict theorists point to tracking, a formalized sorting system that places students on “tracks” (advanced versus low-achievers) that perpetuate inequalities. While educators may believe that students do better in tracked classes because they are with students of similar ability and may have ...

Since the mid-1970s a new position on organizational conflict has emerged. This theoretical perspective is the interactionist approach. This viewpoint espouses not only accepting conflict, but also encouraging it. Theorists are of the opinion that a conflict-free, harmonious, and cooperative organizati...
Lay’s argument, as well as that of other feminist theorists, might suggest that the Foucauldian notion of the episteme must be challenged to include our ability to transcend it from within and uncover excluded sources of knowledge. Clearly, however, such an attempt m...
Whilst a number of notable theorists have attempted to explain identity develop- ment (e.g.Berzonsky, 1990 ; Erikson, 1968 ; Marcia, 1989), perhaps the most comprehensive understanding can be attributed to Luyckx et al. (2008). In their integrative identity model, Luyckx et al. ...
For the speaker to be able to state some propositionpSas being part of a Nash equilibrium, it must be that, given the resulting belief of the hearer, the speaker has no interest in conveying another proposition thanpS.pSwould then be called an equilibrium message. But we still need to spec...
We therefore feel it would be advan- tageous to correlate the decision patterns outlined by Janis and Mann's model with the conflict styles as measured in an instru- ment widely used by conflict theorists, in this case, the MODE ins- trument (Thomas and Kilmann, 1974). cision self-...
