Based on your understanding of the explanatory process model, give an example from your own life when the distal outcomes of one conflict fed into the distal context for the next.

What will be an ideal response?


Answers will vary but students should demonstrate understanding of the stages of the explanatory process model. Distal context includes the history of interactions between two people engaging in conflict; therefore, the distal outcomes of a previous conflict becomes the distal context of the next one. Students should discuss a conflict that recurred over a period of time.
