Peace and gender
The purpose of this experiment was to investigate the influence of an existing peace treaty between two hostile nations on decisions about whether and how to retaliate against one nation's transgression. Two fictitious neighboring countries, Ashland and Bagumba, were described to research participants as having been locked in an historical struggle of tension and hostility. Participants were asked to choose a course of action by the United States…
Peace Agreement, Intractable Conflict, Escalation Trajectory
Psychological theory suggests that international events influence foreign policy action choices through differential cognitive schemata held by political actors. The actions and schemata are, in turn, affected by underlying actor attributes. In this tradition, the present study administered a mixture of peaceful and conflictual priming cues, testing for a “peace treaty” effect. A sample of laboratory subjects was primed with a vignette describing…
Ranking international cooperation and conflict events
A set of psychological laboratory experiments were conducted to refine a scale that could be used to study cognition and decision‐making in international cooperation and conflict events. The COPDAB scale, ranking international conflict and cooperation, was expanded and reanalyzed. The original 15 point scale was augmented to include four actors and three new categories for nuclear conflict. The new 18 point scale was used as a template to generat…
War Cues and Foreign Policy Acts
Cognitive psychological theory and research suggest that specific actions are primed or potentiated by prior related cues. Thus violent cues should influence subsequent conflictual action choices. Laboratory subjects were given one of two written vignettes recalling either the slaughter of World War I or Allied weakness before World War II. A control group received no vignette. Subjects were then asked to specify foreign-policy choices from an in…
