Cím:	"Has it been enough yet?" : Experimental study of some interactive and personality characteristics influencing the chance for agreement in an escalating conflict / Kovács Judit, Pántya József, Medvés Dóra
Dátum:	2011
Megjegyzések:	Interpersonal conflicts often escalate: a hostile act from one party is followed by a hostile act from the other, losses are greater and greater. The involved participants sometimes would like to finish and make an agreement but the swim restrains them from doing it. In our study we investigated how certain interactive and personality variables influence the chance for agreement. From the interactive episodes the unreciprocated forgiving act was controlled. Among the personality characteristics mentalizing ability was in the focus of our interest. To reply our study questions we turned to an experimental game designed to grasp the phenomena of escalating conflict, unreciprocated forgiving act, revenge, agreement. We applied and modified the experimental game of Bolle, Tan & Zizzo (2010). In the original experiment 2 people participate whose chance to win a present is 45-45% or 25-65%. They can increase their chances with 2/3?x?10% by TAKING x?10% from the other. Participants make their decisions in turns, and the game ends when both of them decide in a row not to take from the other, namely LEAVE (x=0). In any other cases the game lasts till one's chance to win decreases below 10%. We made the following modifications: basic chances to win start from 30-30%. Each decision TAKE meant +3% for the decider and -5% for the other party. Participants were in the belief of playing with another person; in fact the other party was a previously developed response-scheme. It was always the response-scheme who started the game with TAKING. The decision from the response scheme was TAKE till the participant also decided to TAKE in 2 consecutive turns of him/her. This condition ensured that the participant engaged in the conflict. After the two necessary TAKE decisions were made by the participant, the scheme moved to LEAVE ? created the possibility to get out of the game by reciprocating with LEAVE. The dependent variable is whether the subject reciprocates immediately the LEAVE decision with a LEAVE. The independent variables were mentalization ability (results from Reading the Mind in the Eyes measurement), and the episode of experiencing an unreciprocated friendly initiative (yes/no). (Yes stands for subjects, who displayed at least once LEAVE in the two opening turns of them). According to the results both independent variables influenced vendetta-behaviour: People with better mentalization ability could cut the vendetta-spiral more successfully; experiencing unreciprocated forgiving functioned as an obstacle against finishing the game with a LEAVE decision.
