[Purpose/significance] The analysis of the large-scale user discussion processes can deeply dig into the characteristics of evolution and factors of group conflicts in the Internet Encyclopedia, and it is beneficial to understand the group conflicts in the content production process, and can provide theoretical guidance for the management of such conflicts.[Method/process] Based on the theory of team conflict, this paper constructed a coding framework of seven variables, including the topic of the entry, the cause of the conflict, the complexity of the task, the duration of the conflict, the intensity of the conflict, and the result of the conflict. Applying the content analysis method to analyze 137 "User Discussion Processes" related to the conflicts of entry editing selected from Baidu Encyclopedia based on three aspects:the beginning of the conflict, intermediate process and the result of the conflict.[Result/conclusion] The study found that cognitive differences, interest contradictions and power disagreements were all the causes of group conflicts in the Internet Encyclopedia, and there was no primary or secondary cause; the task complexity had positively correlated with the conflict intensity, and a negative correlation with conflict probability within a certain range, but had no direct impact on the result of the conflict; conflict transformation would significantly increase the intensity of the conflict, which was positively correlated with the duration of the conflict. Excessive conflict intensity and conflict transformation were not conducive to conflict resolution. The results of online encyclopedia group conflicts included five types:separation, domination, compromise, integration and structural improvement, but more than half of the conflicts had not been resolved.
