The article investigates whether third-party intervention influences the continuation of antagonist conflict behaviour in interpersonal conflicts. The analysis is based on a systematic coding of video footage of real-life conflicts from the streets of Amsterdam. A panel data analysis shows that intervention leads to discontinuation of conflict behaviour. The analysis furthermore finds that while physically forceful intervention stops conflict behaviour, expressions of disapproval have no noticeable effect. The social relationship between third parties and antagonists does not appear to matter for this effect. Third parties thus play an integral part in the development of interpersonal conflicts, but this influence depends on how they intervene. Future preventive efforts should emphasize that intervention works but must be performed in certain ways to be effective.

第三方干预重要吗？基于视频的第三方干预对人际冲突行为持续影响的分析

文章探讨了第三方干预是否会影响人际冲突中对抗性冲突行为的延续。该分析基于对阿姆斯特丹街头现实生活冲突视频片段的系统编码。面板数据分析表明，干预导致冲突行为的中止。分析进一步发现，虽然身体上的有力干预可以阻止冲突行为，但表达反对意见并没有明显的效果。第三方和对手之间的社会关系似乎与这种效果无关。因此，第三方在人际冲突的发展中发挥着不可或缺的作用，但这种影响取决于他们如何干预。
