| Abstract | This monograph presents the computer printout of an analysis of data on international conflict over a three-year period. Part of a large scale research project to test various theories with regard to their power in analyzing international relations, this monograph presents data on the application of discriminant function analysis of 'underdog' behavior among nations (UU actors) in light of relative status field theory. Field theory maintains that international relations consists of all the attributes and interactions of nations, can be analytically divided into attributes and behavior, and exhibits dyad formations (interactions between two nations) in matters of behavior. Relative status field theory presents a break with the status field theory approach in that it argues that status relationships ought to be treated in relative terms. Scores on variables including domestic violence, population density, economic development, political stability, and power base were compared for each nation to determine relative status. Field theory was applied to a single index for the three-year period in question--the WEIS conflict data (World Event Interaction Survey), which was created using the "New York Times" as a data source. The method involved assigning a negative or positive parameter weight on each predictive factor (such as economic development) which indicates the kind of behavior engaged in by that nation relative to other states. Nations were then assigned a status--'underdog' (UU) in this analysis. Approximately 30 nations were assigned a UU actors status. Findings are based on a significance level of .05 or less. Policy implications of each finding are discussed. (DB) |
