- This study compares the initiation, development, escalation of, and resistance to conflict in two diverse settings: A family's Thanksgiving Dinner, and a conversation between physician reviewers reviewing surgeon's proposals for surgery. Using conversation analysis, the study finds that conflict is covert in the professional setting, where the problem focus in clear, yet overt in the family setting. The difference stems from the ways in which recipients of provocative comments choose to respond to them, and shows that conflict, despite involving disagreement, requires the cooperation of conflicting parties.
