Conflict, like any form of communication, takes place in a context that is physical, sociopsychological, temporal, and – perhaps most important – cultural.
The Physical, Sociopsychological, and Temporal Contexts
The physical context – for example, whether you engage in conflict privately or publicly, alone or in front of children or relatives – will influence the way the conflict is conducted as well as the effects that this conflict will have.
The sociopsychological context also will influence the conflict. If the atmosphere is one of equality, for example, the conflict is likely to progress very differently than it would in an atmosphere of inequality. A friendly or a hostile context will exert different influences on the conflict.
The temporal context will likewise prove important to understand. A conflict that follows a series of similar conflicts will be seen differently than a conflict that follows a series of enjoyable experiences and an absence of conflict. A conflict immediately after a hard day of work will engender feelings different from a conflict after an enjoyable dinner.
