'Spieltheoretische Dilemmasituationen werden häufig als paradigmatische Modelle für internationale Konflikte herangezogen. Vorteile solcher Modelle liegen in der Isolierung zentraler Konflikteigenschaften und der Überschaubarkeit von Veränderungen bei Aufnahme weiterer Variablen. Selten wird allerdings bedacht, dass die Betrachtung von Konfliktsituationen ein sehr subjektiver Prozess ist, der von individuellen Bewertungen, Fokussierungen und Rahmenbedingungen abhängt. Spieltheoretische Experimente zeigten, dass das Entscheidungsverhalten stark von den Rahmensetzungen abhängt. Der vorliegende Beitrag stellt Ergebnisse neuer Verhaltensexperimente vor. Zentral sind dabei experimentelle Spiele mit internationalen Konflikten als Rahmenhandlung. Verwendet wurden dabei - mit jeweiliger zeitlicher Nähe zur heißen Phase der realpolitischen Auseinandersetzung - die Kriege und Konflikte um das Kosovo, die Kaschmir-Region, Palästina und den Irak. Die Experimente zeigen, dass der internationale Konflikt-Rahmen tatsächlich zu kompetitiverem Verhalten führt als Experimente mit neutral formulierten Versuchsanweisungen ohne Bezug zu internationalen Konflikten.'

'Game theoretical dilemma situations are often used to model international conflicts. These models have the advantage that they isolate central conflict qualities and remain clearly structured even after adding new variables. Nevertheless, it is often ignored that conflict situations are conceived extremely subjectively, because they rely on individual evaluations, the particular focus, and context factors. Game theoretical experiments show that decisions depend strongly on the context factors in which they were presented to the subjects. This article introduces the results of new behavioural experiments. It focuses on experimental games which were presented against the background story of real international conflicts. Four real disputes have been selected: the Kosovo Conflict, the conflict in the Kashmir region, the Palestinian Conflict, and the Iraq War. In all four cases the experiments took place little time after the hot phase of the particular conflict. The results showed that the subjects behave more competitive if the experiment is equipped with background stories of real international conflicts as they do if there is no such background story at all.'
