Abstract
Paper for meeting of the Conflict Research Society, University of Kent, Canterbury UK, September 2015. An overview of the recent psychological literature on cooperation and conflict reveals that both the relative and absolute size of this corpus has continued to rise over the past fifty years. A substantial portion of this material concerns field studies or theories of cooperation and conflict and of conflict resolution. (Some is however based on mainly laboratory studies of collective dilemmas, coalition formation, bargaining and (primarily mixed motive) games.) Examples are given from published research in some of these categories. An attempt is made to link the research literature to cross cultural data newly being collected on relationships among personality dimensions and attitudes towards peace and war.A taxonomy represented by a classified list of the References for this paper are available at the following URL: http://ssrn.com/abstract=2652877
