Outline of Final Research Achievements

This study looked at the effects of culture, relational context, and self cognition on the preference for interpersonal conflict strategies. Individualistic cultures (US and Canada) were compared against collectivistic (China and Japan) to see how these factors affect conflict strategies. Study 1 tested an original model explaining how the above factors affect strategy preference across hypothesized conflict situations. Contrary to predictions, there were no cultural differences in the model, as individualists were just as likely to emphasize relational intimacy, and have similar self-awareness toward intimates and aquaintances. Study 2 attempted to test whether partners elicit a particular conflict reaction, by utilizing a round robin design in which a group of friends evaluate each other. Japanese participants revealed that a tendency for a relationship effect, which may suggest people have a unique conflict strategy to each relationship.
