“The purpose of formulating [a] conflict as a game is not that of resolving the conflict by 'solving the game.' It is that of displaying the structure of the conflict and thereby exposing features of it that may be concealed by rhetoric. In particular, appreciation of the peculiar structure of some of the so-called mixed - motive conflicts represented nonzero-sum games may change the conflicting parties' perception of their situation.” MayPurposeGamesPartySituationParticularConflictPerceptionStructureAppreciationFeaturesMotivePeculiarRhetoricConcealedExposing Author:Anatol Rapoport

When a negative stereotype about a group is relevant to performance on a specific task, it is referred to as "stereotype threat."

“Now, it's high time for all those that have an influence on the parties with the conflict to understand that it is in the interest of everybody to put an end to this conflict. But this kind of persuasion, this kind of intense pressure, I believe it's my duty to do, even if I recognize that the contradictions and the different perceptions of interest that exist are making it very difficult.” BelieveKindDifferentI BelieveDifficultInterestPartyInfluenceDutyConflictPerceptionIntenseContradictionPersuasion Author:Antonio Guterres
