decisional outcomes, specifically those related to the resolution of international conflicts through either war or peaceful negotiation. The patterns most consistently shown to precede the outbreak of war are a decrease in integrative complexity (a measure of the structure of thought), high power and low affiliation imagery (measures of motive strengths), and the belief that one can control events; the opposite pattern tends to precede peaceful resolutions. | | Authors / Editors | Suedfeld,Peter; Cross, Ryan W.; Stewart,Michael | | Date Published | May 2009 | | Download Citation | This citation can be downloaded in the following bibliographic database formats: Tagged; XML; BibTex |
