“…Although measures of certain belief themes (e.g., patriotism, delegitimization, positive group image, victimhood) that are part of the EOC have already been developed and utilized in published work (e.g., Kosterman & Feshbach, 1989; Leyens et al, 2001; Luthanen & Crocker, 1992; Schori, Klar, & Roccas, 2011), to date, there has been no measure that assesses the degree of adherence to the EOC as a whole. As mentioned before, we believe that in societies that are involved in intractable conflicts, the different belief themes of the ethos combine to form a distinct, coherent worldview.…”

The main objective of the current research is to construct a scale that measures individual differences in adherence to the ethos of conflict (EOC). The development of such a scale is of importance because EOC is seen as a determinative concept in describing the worldview of society members involved in intractable conflict. The first study shows that the 8 themes of EOC load on a single factor, reflecting a holistic and coherent view of the conflict situation. The second study indicates that the EOC constitutes an independent construct. The third study shows that EOC partially mediates between general conservative orientations and judgments of specific solutions proposed to end the conflict. Altogether, the new scale can serve scholars who study sociopsychological mechanisms and dynamics involved in various intractable conflicts around the world.
