Abstract
Conflict literature includes several clusters of research that focus on specific conflict settings. In many cases the impetus for these studies is a specific conflict management problem, such as prevention of war (e.g., Waskow, 1964; Pruitt and Snyder, 1969); attainment of organizational goals (e.g., Robbins, 1974); creation of a new social order (e.g., Chesler, Crowfoot, and Bryant, 1978); or attainment of industrial peace (e.g., Kornhauser et al., 1954). One question that naturally arises is whether conflict management knowledge gained in one of these areas of research is useful in another. The answer depends on the comparability of conflict settings. To date, however, there has been little effort to compare conflicts in different settings.
