“…Results here on the importance of providing counsel and direction, interpersonal skills, and fairness among conflict mediators across cultures and contexts (Figure 1A) supports the relationships between agreeableness and the integrating and obliging styles of conflict resolution identified by Tehrani and Yamini (2020). Other group-service provision functions are more strongly related to evidence for conflict resolution in the ethnographic record than are many other theoretically important qualities.…”

Conflicts are ubiquitous between individuals as well as between groups. Effective conflict resolution is essential for individual well-being and group functioning and often involves leadership dynamics. The evolutionary human sciences have suggested conflict resolution is shaped by psychological heuristics, norms, and ecology. There is limited empirical data, however, on conflict resolution across cultures. Using a cross-cultural database of 109 leadership dimensions coded from over 1,200 ethnographic texts from the eHRAF ethnographic database, exploratory analyses investigated correlates of conflict resolution. Results revealed greater evidence of conflict resolution among kin groups than political groups and greater evidence of within-group conflict resolution than between-group, which did not vary across subsistence strategies or group contexts, with two exceptions – military groups conflicts were biased towards between-group contexts and religious groups biased towards within-group contexts. The strongest predictors of conflict resolution services were other prosocial functions and included group representation and providing counsel, protection, and punishment, as well as qualities of interpersonal skills and fairness. Followers received social service benefits and reduced risk of harm. For leaders who resolve conflicts, status and social benefits were potential negative predictors. These results provide a comparative view of the correlates of conflict resolution, suggesting diversity across social contexts.

“…Regarding the leader, it would be relevant to investigate personality traits and/or the leader's tenure and age in a specific convent. Here, we expect for instance that open and agreeable individuals would tend to engage in problem-solving, while extraverted people may engage both in problem-solving and forcing (Tehrani and Yamini, 2020).…”

Purpose The present study investigates the relationship between servant and authoritarian leadership, and leaders’ third-party conflict behaviors in followers’ conflicts, thereby contributing to integrating knowledge on leadership styles and leaders’ third-party conflict behaviors. This study aims to investigate leadership and conflict management in a context hardly studied: local religious communities or convents within a female religious organization. Design/methodology/approach The authors collected quantitative survey data from 453 religious sisters, measuring their perception of leaders’ behaviors. These religious sisters live in local religious communities within a Catholic Women Religious Institute based in Nigeria (West Africa) and in other countries across the globe. Findings Results show that servant leadership relates positively to leaders’ third-party problem-solving behavior and negatively to leaders’ avoiding and forcing. Moreover, authoritarian leadership relates positively to leaders’ third-party avoiding and forcing behaviors. Originality/value This study expands theory development and practices on leadership and leaders’ third-party conflict behaviors. The authors associate servant and authoritarian leadership with leaders’ third-party conflict behaviors: avoiding, forcing and problem-solving, in followers’ conflicts. The authors offer practical recommendations for religious leaders on servant leadership and leaders’ third-party conflict behaviors.

“…However, conflicts themselves, in our opinion, cannot be called the reasons for the development of man and society. It is more correct to talk here not about the causes, but about the conditions for the emergence of conflicts, which, one way or another, come down to differences between interacting entities (Tehrani, Yamini, 2019). The presence of differences between the subjects of a conflict is a necessary condition for its occurrence.…”

The article raises the problem of developing methods for studying conflicts in the education system. The definition of conflict is given as a process that actualises violations by the subjects of interaction of established norms, rules, laws, requirements of a particular social environment. It is emphasised that today there are two main methodological approaches to the study of conflicts: activity-oriented and personalityoriented. The activity-oriented paradigm considers conflicts from the point of view of activity and development of the subjects of interaction and social environment. The personality-oriented approach focuses on the importance of personal characteristics of the interacting parties to resolve a conflict situation. The authors propose a comprehensive approach based on the symbiosis of personality-oriented and activity-oriented paradigms, which allows to take into account the main personal factors of subjects in the process of deployment and resolution of conflicts at each stage of a conflict situation: characterological peculiarities, self-esteem and intelligence, as well as behaviour strategies. An empirical pilot study was conducted among students of Siberian Federal University in order to determine leading personality features of an individual, which occupy the central place in a conflict, regardless of its stage and determine their relationship with the level of proneness to conflicts of a person. The data obtained allowed us to come to preliminary conclusions that a low level of proneness to conflicts is associated with such qualities as high intelligence, ability to think outside the box, emotional stability, self-confidence and awareness of one’s own capabilities. A high level of proneness to conflicts is due to the student’s inability or unwillingness to understand and accept the individuality of other people, inability to forgive others for their mistakes, low intelligence, emotional instability and anxiety. The revealed relationships confirmed the effectiveness of using an integrated approach to the study of conflicts, as well as the theoretical assumption of the mutual influence of individual psychological characteristics and the level of proneness to conflicts of a person. The results of the study will allow us to investigate the mechanisms of conflict behaviour of learners, taking into account their individual psychological characteristics at each stage of the development of a conflict situation, and therefore manage conflicts in the education system
