Controversy without conflict: How group emotional awareness and regulation can prevent conflict escalation Vlerick Business School
We investigate whether group emotional awareness can prevent the escalation of controversy into conflict in project teams. We propose that group emotional awareness mitigates the impact of initial task conflicts on the development of group emotion regulation. This, in turn, prevents the escalation of task into relationship conflicts. We test our proposed model through a longitudinal design on project teams over the duration of a 3-month project, ...
Mapping cabinet conflicts and conflict features : refined definitions, coding instructions and results from Belgium (1995-2018) Universiteit Gent
This research note presents new definitions, measurements and data of cabinet conflicts and conflict features. Particular attention is given to the ethno-territorial nature of conflicts. This approach can easily be applied to various sources, periods, policy levels and countries. As an example, this note describes a novel dataset that provides the most fine-grained picture of Belgian cabinet conflicts to date (N = 1,090; 1995-2018).
Unconscious conflicts in unconscious contexts: The role of awareness and timing in flexible conflict adaptation Vrije Universiteit Brussel
Humans adapt to context-specific frequencies of response conflicts. Typically, the impact of conflict-inducing information is reduced in contexts with high compared to low frequency of conflict. We investigated how such context-specific conflict adaptation depends on awareness and timing of conflict-eliciting stimuli and conflict-signaling contexts. In a priming paradigm, we varied the visibility of the prime and whether the context is a feature ...
Grenzeloos thuisland, eindeloos conflict?: transnationale politieke mobilisatie en conflict Universiteit Gent
Recovering truth, transforming conflict: an exploration of ways in which truth recovery can contribute to conflict transformation in conditions where the prospect for justice for grave violations is problematical. KU Leuven
Abstract (English) In what ways do victims see recovering truth about the violation perpetrated against them as a means of transforming the violation's continuing impact? Set among the mutation in recent years of transitional justice into the dogma of an internationally mobile, highly professionalised elite, this research question invokes the axiological leanings of the early transitional justice initiatives - the priority accorded victims and ...
Laughter and conflicts. Joking relationships and conflict mediation in Nigeria: A case study of Funyallang in Tarokland. KU Leuven
Hoewel Afrika sterke en levendige technieken van conflictbemiddeling zoals joking relationships kent, wordt het continent spijtig genoeg nog steeds geplaagd door onontwarbare conflicten die haar ontwikkeling belemmerd hebben en aanleiding gegeven hebben tot een enorm aantal vluchtelingen. Zulke conflicten beginnen gewoonlijk met een eenvoudige onenigheid en escaleren vervolgens in openlijk geweld, wat dan tot vijandelijkheid tussen groepen leidt ...
The Relationship between the occurence of conflicts in the work unit, the Conflict management styles in het work unit and workplace bullying KU Leuven
The current study examines the relationship between the occurrence of conflicts in the work unit and conflict management styles in the work unit, and workplace bullying. First, we assume a positive relationship between the occurrence of conflicts and bullying; and that the conflict management styles 'fighting', 'avoiding' and 'yielding' associate positively and 'problem solving' associates negatively with bullying. Second, we expect that the ...
Russia, the U.S. and the EU and the Conflicts in the Wider Black Sea Region: The Potential for Multilateral Solutions in the Wake of the Ukraine Conflict Vrije Universiteit Brussel
The breakaway region around Donetsk and Luhansk is likely to evolve into an entity similar to Transnistria, South Ossetia, Abkhazia or Nagorno-Karabakh. Efforts to resolve these conflicts are pursued in multilateral frameworks in which Russia, the EU and the United States serve as co-chairs or participants, among others. The objective behind the larger powers’ participation in these frameworks is to maintain influence over and provide guidance ...
Conflicts and conflict management styles as precursors of workplace bullying: a two-wave longitudinal study KU Leuven
The current study examined the relationships between conflicts in the work unit, the employee's conflict management style and workplace bullying in a full panel two-wave longitudinal design with a 6 months' time lag (n = 277). We assumed that conflicts as well as the conflict management styles of "problem solving" and "forcing" at T1 would predict being a target or a perpetrator of bullying at T2. Structural Equation Modelling (SEM) showed that ...
