Taylor & Francis Ltd Strategic Conflict 2012 Edition by Daniel J. Canary, Sandra Lakey
Strategic Conflict offers a research-based, accessible analysis of how people can manage conflict productively. Moving beyond the basics of conflict, it examines interpersonal situations in which conflict occurs and promotes strategic communicative responses based on the latest theoretical research. Daniel J. Canary and his colleagues add personal observations, media examples, and samples of actual interaction to provide concrete illustrations of the research findings. This comprehensive volume provides students with the tools to understand conflict in real-world contexts. 1: The Need for Strategic Conflict2: Seeking Strategic Control: Communication Strategies and Tactics3: Maintenance and Conflict: a Dual Process View 4: Seeking Episode Control: Conflict Instigation Due to Alcohol, Moods, Emotions, Stress, and the Environment5: Interpersonal Transgressions6: Accounts7: Seeking Personal Control: Personality Differences in Managing Conflict8: Power and Power Strategies9: Seeking Attributional Control: Interpreting Conflict10: Intercultural Conflict11: Seeking Goal Control: Goal Achievement and Defense12: Health and Conflict 13: Ongoing Serial Conflict14: Abuse, Divorce, and Effects on Children15: Seeking Resolution through Forgiveness
