Why is it important?
The paper provides a definition and theoretical framework of interpersonal conflict in sports which is expected to path the way for future systematic investigations.
Perspectives
While conflict is a reoccurring theme within the sports literature, there is only little research focusing on the processes and determinants of interpersonal conflict itself. I hope this paper can encourage other researchers to pick up this important topic.
