Social:Conflict triangle
The conflict triangle or ABC triangle is a model exploring the impact and causes of conflict.
The theory was created by Johan Galtung and was published in Journal of Peace Research in 1969.[2] The triangle highlights three aspects of a conflict situation: on top of the triangle is B or Behavior (people's actions, statements, insults and so on), on the sides A for Attitude (it includes feelings, prejudices and beliefs) and C for Contradiction[3] or Context.[4] The last one can be defined by inequality, territorial or economic arguments.[5] The triangle is divided into two parts like an iceberg, the upper one (with B on top) being visible, while the lower part of the triangle (with the sides A and C) hidden.
The conflict triangle is used for analysing all types of conflict situations, even with multiple actors.[6]
