Conflict Mediation And Culture: Lessons From The Gambia, Mark Davidheiser

Peace and Conflict Studies

The issue of cultural variation in conflict mediation has attracted considerable interest, probably because of wide-ranging theoretical, methodological, and ethical implications. Scholars are raising increasing questions about both generic theories of the mediation process and past conceptualizations of the culture construct. This article reviews theoretical perspectives on culture and conflict mediation and discusses them in relation to fieldwork conducted in the Gambia among three ethnolinguistic groups. Some local and cross-cultural patterns in the mediation process were found. These patterns are associated with variables such as ethnicity, gender, and social status.

You Can’T Be Serious, That Ball Was In: An Investigation Of Junior Tennis Cheating Behavior, Jonathan Casper Mar 2006

You Can’T Be Serious, That Ball Was In: An Investigation Of Junior Tennis Cheating Behavior, Jonathan Casper

The Qualitative Report

Because junior tennis players have to enforce the rules of the game against each other, cheating to give a player an unfair advantage is common. While this deviant behavior is found to be commonplace in the sport, there is little research to investigate its cause or influences. Results indicated that junior players felt that personal and parental pressures were the most common sources of perceived pressure to win that resulted in cheating behavior. The prevalence of parents who cheat was also cited as a major issue with the participants. Implications as to how the current study adds to the literature …
