Crisis management can - often quite successfully - deal with the man-made and natural causes of rises. But crises management is often hampered by psychological factors that may prolong or even cause a crisis. These are psychic interventions that just happen by contagion (spread by one influential group that is fearsome), or which are provoked intentionally (by a group that is interested that a crisis is maintained). Both types then would find their way into the opinions and attitudes of people. One instrument to analyze and contain the psychological factors of crises - and conflicts - is sociological surveys that ask for the differences in opinions between societal groups. Surveys of this kind, when produced among conflicting groups about a specific crisis - or groups that feel differently (= are psychically affected in a different way ) can help to elucidate ways to find solutions. One example is the Social Capital Monitor (https://commons.ch/wp-content/uploads/Common_Ground_2022_World_Social_Capital_Monitor.pdf). It was developed by the Basel Institute of Commons and Economics (www.commons.ch) and confronts various sets of respondents with questions that range from their acceptance of government measures, their willingness to invest in their community to their opinion on trust in their community etc. The answers would reflect the social climate and whether or not it is favorable to manage crises collectively - as well as, if it is not, what can be done to improve that. Solutions suggested by the Monitor have helped in conflicts between hostile groups in Cambodia and in Ghana, and the Monitor is now being applied to a series of initiatives that could help to facilitate sustainable solutions for the Gaza conflict by way of a huge collective effort to build a "Mediterranean Peace Railway" from Alexandra in Egypt to the Northern border of Lebanon (https://commons.ch/mediterranean-peace-railway/).
