Macro to Micro Trigger: Model of the Mental State as a Moderating
Variable in Organizational Conflict Management
Abstract
This article emphasizes the importance of states in testing for
information seeking and leadership style (Tidwell & Sias, 2005).
Emphasis on states can work to the advantage of women and marginalized
groups since states are purely mental, treating gender as a tool to a
goal. In such cases of emphasis on the body as a tool, as in maleness,
able-bodiedness, or whiteness we must discern how the ‘tool’ satisfies
its own intrapersonal goals versus altruistic concern for maintaining
interpersonal relationships in the workplace (Holt & DeVore, 2005).
Macro to micro model of a state as a moderating variable describes the
overall macro pattern of altered states, called quantum superpositions
(Gao, 2015), as part of information seeking (Tidwell & Sias, 2005).
Micro explains WHY the macro patterns occur based on micro visual or
audio triggers in keying onto a salient feature, which then frames the
quantum superposition experience in Lacanian analysis of the role of
visuals and the subconscious motivation (Drzewiecka, 2014, Gao, 2015,
Stein, 2017, & 2019). Personality as a predictor of leadership style is
based on concepts of personality as unchanging or limited, yet no one
has explained WHY altered states of quantum superposition are triggered
in altering leadership style (Gao, 2015, & Tidwell & Sias, 2005) as
part of closure (Kościelniak, Rydzewska, & Sedek, 2016). A topographic
model, with a micro model explaining the visual, auditory or somatic
trigger of behavior, reacting towards, avoiding, or countering the
effects or direction of the trigger is offered illustrating a
descriptive mental space personality extension model moderating
relationships in conflict management.
