Conflict: HOW
Rewarding!
Why was it important that
"they" be true to themselves?
by Sharon Oosthoek
D
The students needed to be
comfortable with their peers.
Do all people react to conflict negatively? What about
those who welcome a challenge and stand up for their
beliefs? According to research, welcoming a challenge and
standing up for your beliefs when it's difficult or
uncomfortable might prove rewarding.
The students needed to impress
the researchers.
D
The researchers wanted to study
the students' reactions.
A team of researchers led by psychologist Mark Seery
wanted to know how our bodies react when we express
our beliefs during a disagreement. So the researchers
conducted an experiment with a group of college students
The researchers set up a debate in which the students
were asked to express their individual beliefs about a topic
to peers who did not share the same opinion about the
topic. In other words, they were told to be true to
themselves.
The researchers wanted to teach
the students how to debate.
