Críticas:

Human Conflict focuses in depth on a . . . significant aspect of interpersonal relationships, namely, the sources and consequences of misunderstanding in such relationships and the role that communication plays. . . . [The author] make[s] a concerted effort to explain points of view even-handedly, regardless of his level of agreement or disagreement with them, and to identify relevant strengths and weaknesses. . . . It represents a labor of love and a commitment to the topic that the author clearly has developed from years of study and thought. -- Dennis S. Gouran, The Pennsylvania State University, coauthor of Mastering Communication

Reseña del editor:

Human Conflict distinguishes between 'effective' and 'ineffective' forms of face-to-face interaction in cases where agreement, disagreement, understanding, or misunderstanding prevail. Following an in-depth look at the interplay of cognitive appraisals, value orientations, and social identity in the construction of everyday reality, the book analyzes social constructions that contribute to a wider ability to fashion working agreements and mutual understanding. Scholars of conflict study, mediators, and others interested in the cognitive processes behind agreement and understanding will enjoy this book.
