PART II: MAJOR CAUSES OF CONFLICTS AND ITS LEVEL OF FREQUENCY
Information Conflict – When parties involved had different or insufficient information related to the
dispute, or when there is disagreement over what data is relevant;
Values Conflict – When there is a question of who is right and who is wrong between parties involved;
Interest Conflict – When there is a question of who must gain something and who should sacrifice
between parties involved;
Relationship Conflict – When there are misperceptions, strong negative emotions, or poor communication
between parties involved. One person may distrust the other and believe that the other
person’s actions are motivated by malice or an intent to harm the other;
Structural Conflict – caused by oppressive behaviors exerted on others. Limited resources or opportunity
as well as organization structures often promote conflict behavior.

Indicators 1 2 3 4 5
1. Ripeness-Promoting Strategies: When parties involved in a dispute realized they
cannot win with further escalation, and the status quo is unacceptably damaging,
mediators then convince them that negotiation is preferable to continued confrontation
2. Convening Processes: The role of convening is to bring disputants to a preliminary
meeting where they will discuss the issues of a conflict and consider options for its
resolution. Tasks involved include assessing the conflict situation, identifying key
stakeholders and participants, introducing options for a resolution process, and
considering ground rules;
3. Conflict Assessment: The initial first stage of mediation and the process of
determining what is going on, who is involved, what options for resolution might be
possible, what procedural approaches might work;
4. Ground Rules: stems from a belief that all parties in a dispute resolution process
should be treated equally and fairly. These rules spell out behavior and procedures that
people consider fair, but tend to abandon when carrying on a fight;
5. Codes of Conduct for Intervenors: Just as ground rules set the codes of conduct for
participants, mediators also have codes of conduct. While some are negotiated on a
case-by-case basis, others are fairly standard and are specified in various existing
documents.
6. Sequencing Strategies and Tactics: Mediators dealing with very large social
conflicts have to skillfully manage a very complex and diverse set of challenges. In
order to do that, these people must think about the best way to order or sequence the
issues involved in their conflict. This essay describes some sequencing models and
tactics
7. Creating Safe Spaces for Communication: Due to misunderstandings, distrust,
and prejudice, communication between parties is often difficult. This essay discusses
various obstacles to effective communication and explores how to create a supportive
climate in which parties feel comfortable discussing their differences
8. Reframing: "Framing refers to the way a conflict is described or a proposal is
worded; reframing is the process of changing the way a thought is presented so that it
maintains its fundamental meaning but is more likely to support resolution efforts.
"Parties can engage in reframing on their own, but it can be extremely helpful to have
a third party (mediator or facilitator) to guide the process.
9. Option Identification: Option identification is an essential step in the process of
resolving any conflict. Once all parties to the conflict have identified the issues under
contention, they should systematically list all options that they see available to them
for advancing their interests. Often this is the most creative step of the mediation
process
10. Focusing on Commonalities: Working towards a solution often requires that parties
both understand their differences and yet focus on their commonalities. This essay
outlines some strategies for locating common ground
11. Caucus: Caucuses are meetings that mediators hold separately with each side of a
dispute in order to keep mediation moving forward. They can be called by the
mediator or by one of the parties to work out problems that occur during the process.
This essay outlines the basic steps of a caucus and their role in effective mediation
processes. It also discusses the downsides of caucusing.
12. Shuttle Diplomacy: Rather than allowing for the exchange of views and
producing compromise, direct communication between the parties may sometimes
make the situation worse. The essence of shuttle diplomacy is the use of a third party
to convey information back and forth between the parties in cases where direct

13. Reality Testing: Sometimes parties believe that they have an alternative or option that
is better than what they will get through participating in mediation. Reality testing
involves asking questions about each party's options and convincing resistant parties
that mediation is their best option
14. Costing: Cost-benefit analysis is a matter of analyzing the costs and benefits of
different options to determine what approach or solution to choose. Costing occurs
throughout the mediation process as parties decide whether or not to participate and
choose among settlement possibilities
15. Action-Forcing Mechanisms: These are mechanisms to get parties to move ahead
when one or more of the parties is stalling.
16. Establishing Trust in Mediation: One important task for mediators is to build and
maintain the parties' trust of the mediation process, the mediators, and between the
parties themselves. When trust levels are high, parties are less defensive and more
willing to share information with other parties at the mediation table and in private
sessions with the mediator.
