Folger, Poole, and Stutman identify numerous signs that the parties to a conflict are stuck in destructive cycles of either spiraling escalation or avoidance. (See Table 1.1, p. 23.) In your experiences with other people, what signs have you relied on in determining when a conflict appears to be heading in the direction of either escalation or avoidance? In arriving at such recognition, what have you typically attempted to do to move the conflict toward a point of resolution (in other words, to enter the integration stage)? Have your tactics usually worked or failed? In either case, why do you think that they have had the effects they have?
