Some Determinants of Conflict Avoidance
Abstract
Most research on conflict resolution has ignored the fact that conflict avoidance may be used as a strategy of conflict resolution. To fill this gap, a study was designed to examine the determinants of the occurrence of conflict avoidance in two cultural groups. College students and residents of a community in the United States and in Hong Kong were asked to read a conflict scenario and indicate how likely they would be to pursue the conflict. A conflict was more likely to be pursued if the stakes involved were large and if the would-be disputant was from an out-group. Chinese subjects were less likely to pursue a conflict with an in-group disputant, and more likely to pursue a conflict with an out-group disputant, than were Americans. The cultural differences were interpreted as consistent with previous conceptualizations of cultural collectivism.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
