De-escalation-oriented pole: Constructive Emotions
     
D4.1
Unbiased assessment of "their" intentions & behavior and emphasis on the price of victory deconstruct threat and confidence and promote "our" willingness for peace
D4.2
Respect for "their" rights and unbiased assessment of "their" behavior reduce mistrust
D4.3
Empathy with both sides' victims, emphasis on both sides' casualties and unbiased evaluation of both sides' behavior redirects outrage at the war
D4.4 Empathy for "their" situation opens up a new perspective: if we can find a solution (together) that takes all sides' needs into account, reconciliation will become possible
D4.5 Emphasis on cooperative experiences (also in the past) rebuilds trust
