Abstract

Entscheidungen in informellen politischen Verfahren (z.B. Mediation) sind durch komplexe Interaktionen zwischen Gruppen und durch eine relative Offenheit in der Wahl der verfolgten Ziele und Interaktionsmuster durch die Beteiligten gekennzeichnet. Herkömmliche experimentelle Analysen von Entscheidungsprozessen bilden dies nur bedingt ab. Die Studie dient vorrangig der Entwicklung einer Forschungsmethodik: Mit Hilfe des gruppendynamischen Entscheidungsspiels Gewinnt soviel ihr könnt! wurde eine in dieser Hinsicht repräsentativere experimentelle Situation erzeugt. Untersucht wurden Entrapment-Strategien. Hierbei handelt es sich um ein Entscheidungsmuster, in dem Menschen oder Gruppen trotz erkennbarer eigener Verluste ihr Verhalten nicht ändern. Es wurde bei vielen politischen Fehlentscheidungen beobachtet. Ein besseres Verständnis dieses Phänomens könnte einen Betrag zur konstruktiven Gestaltung politischer Entscheidungsprozesse leisten. In der Untersuchung konnten (neben anderen Entscheidungsmustern) Entrapment-Strategien bei Intergruppenentscheidungen mit Hilfe des genannten Spiels realisiert werden. Es ließ sich zeigen, daß bei den Spielteilnehmern Einschränkungen in der Wahrnehmung von Zieloptionen und Kooperationsmöglichkeiten existierten. Bei Teilgruppen mit Entrapment-Strategien wurde trotz einer Eskalation der Verluste eine relative Zufriedenheit mit ihrer Entscheidungsfindung innerhalb der Teilgruppe festgestellt.
