The cognitive conflict model described by Hammond (1965) is based on the premise that cognitive differences may cause serious interpersonal conflicts, even in the extreme case of persons who are working together to attain a mutually desired goal. Empirical support for this premise has been obtained in several studies showing effects of cognitive differences upon subsequent conflict, learning, and compromise (e.g., Rappoport, 1965; Todd, Hammond, and Wilkins, 1965; Hammond, Todd, Wilkins, and Mitchell, 1967; Hammond, Bonaiuto, et al., 1967). However, these studies have all been experiments in which persons previously trained in the laboratory to think differently about an uncertain task disagree when they must make joint decisions concerning the task.
