INVERSION ANALYSIS OF CONFLICT ESCALATION
The article considers the conflict as a hierarchical system; the method of analysis of inversive relations in hierarchical systems is used in the study of the conflict. System inversion is a form of relations in the hierarchy in which the lowest, subordinate element acquires a dominant value in it, while formally remaining in the same low hierarchical position. In particular, in conflict interaction subordinate emotional reactions often come to the fore, determining the entire behavior of the subject. This manifests itself in the escalation of the conflict, when the conflict turns into a destructive phase.
