Abstract
The effects of cognitive conflict, i.e., interpretive disagreement between parties sharing the same information, on adjustments to alternative information environments are explored in an experimental study of judgment. The results indicate that conflict facilitates appropriate shifts in judgment in some cases, but not in others. Thus the introduction, maintenance, or enhancement of conflict may be as important in some contexts as it is undesirable in others. Several implications and suggestions for extending the contingencies under which conflict might be useful are presented.
