Abstract

The Informative Process Model (IPM) proposes an intervention to facilitate change in conflict-supporting narratives in protracted conflicts. These narratives develop to help societies cope with conflict; but over time, they turn into barriers for its resolution. The IPM suggests raising awareness of the psychological processes responsible for the development of these narratives and their possibility for change, which may unfreeze conflict attitudes. Previous studies in the context of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict found that the IPM (versus control) increased participants' support for negotiations. In three preregistered studies (combined N = 2,509), we illuminate the importance of feeling that one's conflict-related attitudes are accepted-that is, acknowledged without judgement-in explaining the effectiveness of the modeland expand the IPM's validity and generalizability: By showing the effectiveness of the IPM compared to an intervention similarly based on exposure to conflict-related information (Study 1); by showing its effectiveness in unfreezing attitudes when communicating different thematic conflict-supporting narratives-victimhood and security (Study 2); and by showing its effectiveness when using messages referring to ongoing, not only resolved conflicts, and text-based, not only visually stimulating, message styles (Study 3). These results contribute to theory and practice on psychological interventions addressing the barrier of conflict-supporting narratives.

从接受到改变：接受在信息过程模式解决冲突的有效性中的作用。

信息过程模型（IPM）提出了一种干预措施，以促进在旷日持久的冲突中改变支持冲突的叙事。这些叙事的发展有助于社会应对冲突，但随着时间的推移，它们会变成解决冲突的障碍。国际项目管理方案建议提高对造成这些叙事发展的心理过程及其改变可能性的认识，这可能会解除对冲突的态度。之前在巴以冲突背景下进行的研究发现，IPM（与对照组相比）增加了参与者对谈判的支持。在三项预先登记的研究中（总人数 = 2,509），我们阐明了感觉到自己与冲突有关的态度被接受--即被承认而不被评判--的重要性，从而解释了该模型的有效性，并扩大了 IPM 的有效性和可推广性：通过显示 IPM 与同样基于接触冲突相关信息的干预措施相比的有效性（研究 1）；通过显示 IPM 在传播不同的冲突支持主题叙事--受害和安全--时在解冻态度方面的有效性（研究 2）；以及通过显示 IPM 在使用提及正在进行的而不仅仅是已经解决的冲突的信息时的有效性，以及在使用基于文本而不仅仅是视觉刺激的信息风格时的有效性（研究 3）。这些结果有助于解决冲突支持叙事障碍的心理干预理论和实践。

期刊介绍： The British Journal of Social Psychology publishes work from scholars based in all parts of the world, and manuscripts that present data on a wide range of populations inside and outside the UK. It publishes original papers in all areas of social psychology including: • social cognition • attitudes • group processes • social influence • intergroup relations • self and identity • nonverbal communication • social psychological aspects of personality, affect and emotion • language and discourse Submissions addressing these topics from a variety of approaches and methods, both quantitative and qualitative are welcomed. We publish papers of the following kinds: • empirical papers that address theoretical issues; • theoretical papers, including analyses of existing social psychological theories and presentations of theoretical innovations, extensions, or integrations; • review papers that provide an evaluation of work within a given area of social psychology and that present proposals for further research in that area; • methodological papers concerning issues that are particularly relevant to a wide range of social psychologists; • an invited agenda article as the first article in the first part of every volume. The editorial team aims to handle papers as efficiently as possible. In 2016, papers were triaged within less than a week, and the average turnaround time from receipt of the manuscript to first decision sent back to the authors was 47 days.
