in this paper, we discuss the ways that communication accommodation theory (cat) can be a useful framework for understanding and diagnosing interactional issues in interpersonal and intergroup conflict situations. we argue that the theory’s construct of attuning strategies provides a multidimensional view of mutual adjustment, leading to insights relevant to successful versus unsuccessful confl...

it seems that resolution of internal conflict is studied less than the international one. current literature in this regard is not focused on theoretical aspects of conflict resolution, particularly, on conditions and necessaries of resolving these kinds of conflicts. nevertheless, in political science literature it is possible to find some texts that implicitly or explicitly are related to thi...

Cognitive control is required to regulate conflict. The conflict monitoring theory suggests that the dorsal anterior cingulate cortex (dACC) is involved in detecting response conflict and the dorsolateral prefrontal cortex (DLPFC) plays a critical role in regulating conflict. Recent studies, however, have suggested that rostral dACC (rdACC) responds to response conflict whereas caudal dACC (cdA...

sometimes disagreement in regards to reading a qur’ānic verse has resulted in a paradoxical judgment and this occurs in traditions, as well. but the way in which one can consider paradoxical verses arises from the so-called ‘alājīyah traditions. the question that arises here is as follows: can the rules presented by these evidences be also extended to the paradoxical readings? if so, what are t...

We examine conflict resolution via a random device. We model conflict as a two-agent rent-seeking contest for a fixed prize. Before conflict arises, both agents may agree to allocate the prize by coin flip to avoid the costs of conflict. In equilibrium, risk-neutral agents with relatively symmetric conflict capabilities agree to resolve the conflict by randomization. However, with sufficiently ...
