Stage 2: Initial (Confrontative)
Claim C Challenge/Attack
In this phase, a participant attacks or challenges the previous or present main
speaker, adopting an accusing stance, typically with one hand forward and the
index finger raised. The attacker is provocative, sometimes sarcastic and sometimes
interrupting the main speaker.
Attacks of this type also reoccur in the following phases from both sides. Among
the five models of conflict stages, Glasl's “discussion” and “debate” stages are
related to this stage, as are Hocker and Wilmot's “confrontation” and Brahm's
“emergence.” As we can see, the different models are on different levels of
abstraction and focus on different aspects of the interaction.
