A literary analog to conflict theories: The potential for theory construction

Abstract
A case study of Dostoevsky's Crime and Punishment (Part I) was conducted to demonstrate the existence of literary analogs to contemporary conflict theories, as well as to indicate the potential for theory construction via literary analysis. Three analogs were described which correspond to the frustration‐aggression model, the decision‐making or game‐theoretic approach, and the instinctual aggression paradigm, respectively.
