| Zusammenfassung: | <jats:title>Significance</jats:title> <jats:p>Societies involved in intractable conflicts are typically polarized in their views on how to resolve the conflict. Hawkish members of society adhere to an uncompromising and nonconciliatory ideology. Therefore, interventions that may change their attitudes are particularly important but simultaneously are very difficult to apply because hawks tend to reject messages that propagate peaceful resolution of the conflict. In the current investigation, we tested whether a large-scale campaign based on the paradoxical thinking framework can moderate attitudes during a widespread outbreak of violence. We found that rightwing (i.e., hawkish) participants exposed to the campaign decreased their adherence to conflict-supporting attitudes over time, were more supportive of conciliatory policies, and less supportive of aggressive policies.</jats:p> |
