| Abstract: | This experiment examined the effects of epistemic vs. relational conflicts on the relationship with a partner. Students participated
to a fictitious computer-mediated interaction about a text with a bogus partner who introduced either an epistemic conflict
(a conflict that referred to the content of the text), or a relational conflict (a conflict that questioned participants’
competence). Results indicated that compared to the epistemic conflict, the relational conflict enhanced threat and reduced
the perceived contribution of the partner. Moreover, after a relational conflict, participants were more assertive in their
answers, justified them to a lower extent, and expressed less doubt than after an epistemic conflict. Results also indicated
that the intensity of disagreement predicted different modes of regulation depending on the conflict type. Finally, epistemic
conflict elicited better learning than relational conflict. |
