By adopting a process perspective, we analyze why a project group consisting of three heterogeneous subgroups is failing to uphold such balance over time. Instead, overemphasizing cooperativeness in the early phases of the project led to over-assertiveness and escalation of group conflict. We identify three mechanisms for reinforcing dynamics. First, we find that subgroups overestimate other subgroups’ behavioral autonomy, which promotes holding simplified, negative images of each other. Second, subgroups adopt vertical disidentification when they define their own particular role. Third, cooperativeness conceals pejorative perceptions.- Reproduced   aProject group, Cooperativeness-assertiveness tension, Group conflict, Vertical disidentification, Image919396  aProject Management Journal   aCONFLICT MANAGEMENT  cAR  00102ddc40709388612aIIPAbIIPAd2020-11-23h51(1), 2020: p.62-76pAR124089r2020-11-23yAR
