Abstract
This study suggests that the superordinate goal retards the development of felt conflict even if the frustrating antecedent conditions remain and, although a nonachieved superordinate goal does not reduce or even retard the development of felt conflict, the resultant conflict is no worse than if no superordinate goal had been introduced.Keywords
