Book Description
Using a mediated stimulus-response model for basic organization, fourteen hypotheses dealing with dyadic and mediated conflict behavior in an international crisis are presented. The hypotheses describing dyadic conflict behavior, seven in number, are concerned with three sub-topics of this general area: (1) the effects of violence; (2) the antecedents of hostile perception; and (3) the effects of hostile perception. The seven hypotheses describing patterns of interaction in the triad may be divided into two sub-topics: (1) hypotheses describing the perceiver's relationship with the mediator; and (2) hypotheses describing perception of the relationship between the mediator and the perceiver's enemy.
