Abstract

An important phenomenon in ethnopolitical intergroup conflict is the sides' lack of rationality. Deutsch, a major researcher in the area of conflict, asserts that the great tension that is associated with conflict diminishes intellectual resources for dealing with information and leads to perceptual distortions. Such perceptual distortions and biases can contribute substantially to the maintenance and escalation of conflict (Deutsch, 1973). This article will describe major psychological–cognitive barriers to peace in ethnopolitical conflict and will discuss ways to overcome these barriers.
