The present study uses regression analysis of existing cross‐national data sets to demonstrate that ingroup–outgroup discrimination and intergroup conflict management vary more along the north–south (latitudinal) axis than along the east–west axis of the Earth. Ingroup favoritism, outgroup rejection, political oppression, legal discrimination, and communication bullying are all less prevalent among Northerners than among Southerners in the Northern Hemisphere, but more prevalent among Northerners than among Southerners in the Southern Hemisphere. These findings provide a rich source for further research into how social conflicts are habitually experienced and handled by residents of northern versus southern habitats. A supplementary analysis specifies the extent to which ecological stressors—thermal stress, hydraulic stress, pathogenic stress, and subsistence stress—help explain why there are oppositely sloping north–south gradients of conflict culture above and below the equator. Taken in total, these results demonstrate the importance of considering latitude in forming a deeper understanding of conflict management and negotiation.

北方人和南方人在冲突文化中的差异

本研究使用对现有跨国数据集的回归分析来证明，群体间-群体间的歧视和群体间冲突的管理沿地球的南北（纬度）轴的变化要大于沿地球的东西轴的变化。与北半球的南方人相比，北方人中的集团内偏爱，集团外拒绝，政治压迫，法律歧视和沟通欺凌都没有普遍存在，但在北方人中比在南半球南方人中更为普遍。这些发现为进一步研究北部和南部栖息地的居民习惯性地经历和处理社会冲突提供了丰富的资源。补充分析指定了生态压力的程度，例如热压力，水力压力，病原压力，生存压力-帮助解释为什么在赤道上方和下方存在相反的南北倾斜的冲突文化梯度。总而言之，这些结果证明了考虑纬度对于形成对冲突管理和谈判的更深刻理解的重要性。
