Stage 4: Further Escalation of Conflict
This phase contains continued and often repeated attacks and counterattacks, usually
with increasing intensity. Affective-epistemic stances are angry and accusing with
behavioral features such as sarcasm or shouting while overlapping other speakers,
leaning forward with hand forward, often with the forefinger raised. Considering
the five models of conflict stages, Glasl's “debate,” Hocker and Wilmot's “con-
frontation,” and Brahm's “escalation” stages are still relevant which reinforce and
illustrate that these stages are less temporally fine grained than the stages we are
suggesting.
