Introduction Social conflict has been part and parcel of human history and exerts a range of effects that easily exceed imagination. Conflict is associated with the rise and fall of nations and large-scale migration flows, and interferes with individual life trajectories. Conflict destroys welfare and lives, creates collective imprints and out-group resentments that transcend generations, and can cause famine and the spreading of infectious disease. Conversely, conflict drives techno- logical innovation, inspires art, and creates and destroys hierarchies. Indeed, throughout his- tory, conflicts have revised established structures and divides, introduced new views and practices, and changed the social order of individuals and their groups. Conflict can be about many things such as ownership, territorial access, status and respect, and what is right and wrong (e.g., Blattman & Miguel 2010; Bornstein 2003;DeDreu2010; Deutsch 1973; Gould 1999; Rapoport 1960; Schelling 1960). Sometimes, these conflicts are about something all parties want but that only some can have (Coombs & Avrunin 1988). Examples include politicians competing for the same senate seat, rivaling research laboratories claiming the patent ownership of a potentially lucrative technology, and superpowers seeking world hegemony. Alternatively, conflicts emerge because some parties want something that others try to prevent from happening (Durham 1976; Miller 2009; Pruitt & Rubin 1986). Examples include revisionist states seeking to capture their neighbor’s territory, activist rebels fighting elitist powerholders, companies launching hostile take-over attempts, and terrorists attacking civilian and military targets. Conflicts among nonhuman animals typically have such a structure of attack and defense (Boehm 2009; 2012; Dawkins & Krebs 1979; Sapolsky 2017; Wrangham 2018). Human con- flicts may be no different. In fact, more than two-thirds of the 2,000 militarized interstate dis- © Cambridge University Press 2019 putes that emerged since the Congress of Vienna in 1816 involved a revisionist state and a non-revisionist state (De Dreu et al. 2016a; Gochman & Maoz 1984; Wright 2014). Likewise, 68% of community disputes involved a challenger who desired a revision and a defender who protected the status quo (Ufkes et al. 2014). Finally, people often perceive the other side as the threatening aggressor who leaves them no option but to aggressively defend Downloaded from https://www.cambridge.org/core.

Although conflicts often have an attack-defense structure, the- 2009; Gould 1999; Humphreys & Weinstein 2006; Pietrazewski ory and research have rarely made a clear distinction between 2016; Rusch 2014a). At the same time, there is a growing consen- attack and defense (Lopez 2017; Pruitt & Rubin 1986; Rusch sus to view conflicts as situations in which individuals or groups 2014a; 2014b; Wrangham 2018). We currently lack theory and cannot realize their preferred state when other individuals or research about the ways in which clashes between attackers and groups realize their own preferred state (Coombs & Avrunin defenders evolve, about the neurocognitive mechanisms that scaf- 1988;DeDreu2010; Deutsch 1973; Kelley & Thibaut 1978; fold attack and defense, and about the cultural institutions that Pruitt 1998; Schelling 1960). This conceptualization of conflict groups use to attack their neighbors or to defend against enemy as incompatibility of interests is adopted here as well. attacks. Accordingly, our aim here is to provide a framework of At the core of this unifying approach is behavioral game the- the structure, psychological adaptations, and institutional conse- ory, which offers stylized models of conflict (e.g., Camerer 2003; quences of attacker-defender conflicts. Hirshleifer 1988; Kagel & Roth 1995; Schelling 1960). Indeed, We proceed as follows. Section 2 presents a formal model of game theoretical models of conflict have been used extensively attack-defense conflict and identifies unique properties of games in the study of international tension and interstate warfare of attack and defense that are neither present in nor captured by (Bacharach & Lawler 1981; Huth & Russett 1984; Jervis 1978; canonical games of conflict that have dominated classic and con- Snyder & Diesing 1977) to understand the group dynamics and temporary conflict analysis and research. Section 3 maps these cultural arrangements that create and fuel intergroup conflict properties onto behavioral decision-making and delineates its (Abbink 2012; Bornstein 2003; Colman 2003; De Dreu et al. underlying neurocognitive mechanisms.

We argue that groups face greater difficulty motivating of human prosociality and aggression (Bowles & Gintis 2011; and coordinating a collective attack of out-groups than defending Garcia et al. 2014; Henrich & McElreath 2003;Nowak2006; against outside enemies, and that an out-group attack requires dis- Rusch 2014a; West et al. 2007). tinctly different sociocultural mechanisms and institutional Almost invariably, these lines of inquiry rely on models of con- arrangements than in-group defense.

Gelfand Lisa M. Leslie University of Maryland University of Minnesota Kirsten Keller Carsten de Dreu Rand Corporation University of Amsterdam Anecdotal evidence abounds that organizations have distinct conflict cultures, or socially shared norms for how conflict should be managed. However, research to date has largely focused on conflict management styles at the individual and small group level, and has yet to examine whether organizations create socially shared and normative ways to manage conflict. In a sample of leaders and members from 92 branches of a large bank, factor analysis and aggregation analyses show that 3 conflict cultures— collaborative, dominating, and avoidant—operate at the unit level of analysis. Building on Lewin, Lippitt, and White’s (1939) classic work, we find that leaders’ own conflict management behaviors are associated with distinct unit conflict cultures. The results also demonstrate that conflict cultures have implications for macro branch-level outcomes, including branch viability (i.e., cohesion, potency, and burnout) and branch performance (i.e., creativity and customer service). A conflict culture perspective moves beyond the individual level and provides new insight into the dynamics of conflict management in organizational contexts.

The Leadership Quarterly is a social-science journal dedicated to advancing our understanding of leadership as a phenomenon, how to study it, as well as its practical implications. The journal seeks contributions from various disciplinary perspectives, including psychology broadly defined (i.e., industrial-organizational, social, evolutionary, biological, differential), management (i.e., organizational behavior, strategy, organizational theory), political science, sociology, economics (i.e., personnel, behavioral, labor), anthropology, history, and methodology. Equally desirable are contributions from multidisciplinary perspectives. The aim of the journal is to publish scholarly research, theory, and developmental application from diverse fields of inquiry about leadership. The journal will consider studies of leaders from all walks of social life, including formal or informal leaders of any type of group or organization; non-human leadership will also be considered.
