The Informative Process Model (IPM) proposes an intervention to facilitate change in conflict‐supporting narratives in protracted conflicts. These narratives develop to help societies cope with conflict; but over time, they turn into barriers for its resolution. The IPM suggests raising awareness of the psychological processes responsible for the development of these narratives and their possibility for change, which may unfreeze conflict attitudes. Previous studies in the context of the Israeli–Palestinian conflict found that the IPM (versus control) increased participants' support for negotiations. In three preregistered studies (combined N = 2,509), we illuminate the importance of feeling that one's conflict‐related attitudes are accepted–that is, acknowledged without judgement–in explaining the effectiveness of the modeland expand the IPM's validity and generalizability: By showing the effectiveness of the IPM compared to an intervention similarly based on exposure to conflict‐related information (Study 1); by showing its effectiveness in unfreezing attitudes when communicating different thematic conflict‐supporting narratives–victimhood and security (Study 2); and by showing its effectiveness when using messages referring to ongoing, not only resolved conflicts, and text‐based, not only visually stimulating, message styles (Study 3). These results contribute to theory and practice on psychological interventions addressing the barrier of conflict‐supporting narratives.

从接受到改变：接受在信息过程模型解决冲突的有效性中的作用


信息过程模型 （IPM） 提出了一种干预措施，以促进在旷日持久的冲突中改变支持冲突的叙述。这些叙事的发展是为了帮助社会应对冲突;但随着时间的推移，它们会成为解决问题的障碍。IPM 建议提高对负责这些叙事发展的心理过程及其变化可能性的认识，这可能会解冻冲突态度。先前在以色列-巴勒斯坦冲突背景下的研究发现，IPM（与对照相比）增加了参与者对谈判的支持。在三项预先注册的研究（合并 N = 2,509）中，我们阐明了感觉一个人的冲突相关态度被接受的重要性——即不加评判地承认——在解释模型的有效性时，并扩大了 IPM 的有效性和普遍性：通过显示 IPM 与类似基于接触冲突相关信息的干预措施相比的有效性（研究 1）;通过展示它在传达不同主题冲突支持叙事——受害者和安全时解冻态度的有效性（研究 2）;以及通过使用涉及正在进行的、不仅已解决的冲突的信息，以及基于文本的、不仅仅是视觉刺激的信息样式来展示其有效性（研究 3）。这些结果有助于解决支持冲突的叙事障碍的心理干预的理论和实践。
