The mediation process is the new component of the model, thus the authors tested two potential mediators – perceived damage and negative emotions – in the choice process.Design/methodology/approach– Managers (n=240) were presented with conflict scenarios involving one of their subordinates (low/high performing) and differed by conflict type (relations/task and principle/expediency). They indicated the influence tactics they would utilize in the given situation for gaining compliance and completed a series of questionnaires: perceived damage engendered by disobedience, resultant emotion, cognitive closure, and demographics.Findings– Results indicated that perceived damage, directly and through the mediation of resultant negative emotions, influenced the tendency to opt for harsh tactics. This trend was further affected by the managers’ gender and cognitive closure.Research limitations/implications– The discussion addresses the empirical validity of the model, the role of rationality and emotion in the process of choosing influence tactics. Practical implications concerning the usage of harsh and soft tactics and the limitation of the self-report method were also discussed.Originality/value– The contribution of the study is twofolded: proving the empirical validity of the new conceptualization of the model and explaining the dynamic involved in the choice of influence tactics.

Three weeks after the war, 5th, 7th, and 10th graders (N = 492) completed questionnaires assessing coping behaviors and emotional responses in the sealed room, as well as current stress reactions and posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD). Despite an underlying feeling of tension, the dominant emotional stance in the sealed room was one of detached optimism. Common forms of coping involved information seeking, checking, and wishful thinking. Emotion-focused coping such as avoidance and distraction strategies was associated with less postwar stress reactions than persistence at direct problem-focused actions once the minimal actions available had been undertaken. Fifth graders were found to use less emotion-focused and more problem-focused coping strategies than were the 7th and 10th graders.

Following the experience of Scud missile bombardment during the Persian Gulf war, 492 Israeli pupils from grades 5, 7, and 10 from regions actually hit and from regions under threat but not hit, described what they thought life would be like next year for children of their age. Based on recent cognitive theories, it was expected that children who experienced higher levels of stress would also express more pessimistic views of the future. We found that children's dominant perception of the future was positive. However, children who expressed stronger postwar reactions also tended to have more pessimistic future views, especially in areas that were hit by missiles. Discussion focused upon views of the future as a direct consequence of the stress as well as a means of coping with stress.

The contributions of parental religiosity, religious educational attitudes, subjective norms, and a variety of sociodemographic characteristics were examined within the context of a structural model suggested by reasoned action theory and its critics. Questionnaires dealing with these variables were administered to 710 parents of children completing kindergarten and about to enter elementary school. As expected, choice of school sector was related primarily to level of parental religiosity. LISREL analyses revealed that the parental decision was also influenced by such school characteristics as educational level and geographical location, as well as by perceived social norms. The specific weight of the variable shifted as a function of parental educational level and ethnicity. Social implications are discussed regarding the potential for social cleavage and separatism between religious and nonreligious Israeli Jews.

Ss rated the likelihood of 14 influence strategies being used either by them or their partner. Factor analysis yielded 4 factors, including strong or controlling tactics; weak or unobtrusive tactics; rational or logic-based tactics; and miscellaneous tactics. Men and women agreed that men were more likely to use strong tactics in dissatisfying relationships than in satisfying relationships. They disagreed on the likelihood that women would use strong tactics as a function of relationship satisfaction. Agents and targets differed in their expectancies of weak tactics being used. There were no significant effects for rational and miscellaneous tactics. (PsycINFO Database Record (c) 2012 APA, all rights reserved)
