The purpose of the present study was to investigate the relationships of learned resourcefulness and conflict behaviors of university students. The sample of the study consisted of 393 (253 females, 140 males) volunteered undergraduate students from Faculty of Education in Middle East Technical University in Ankara. The data were gathered by administering two instruments, namely Rosenbaum&rsquo / s Self-Control Schedule (SCS) and Conflict Behaviors Questionnaire (CBQ). The results of MANOVA employed to CBQ scores revealed significant main effects for learned resourcefulness groups and gender. The interaction effect of gender and learned resourcefulness levels was not significant. The results of ANOVA yielded a significant difference between high and low learned resourcefulness groups in collaborating behavior, indicating that, as compared to low resourceful group, high resourceful group reported higher usage of collaborating behavior in conflict situations. Findings also seemed to suggest that, in conflict situations, those in the high resourcefulness group tended to use compromising behaviors more than those in low resourcefulness group. No significant difference was found in any of the other conflict behaviors as a function of learned resourcefulness.

The purpose of the present study is to investigate the relationships of attachment styles and conflict behaviors among male and female university students. Three hundred and twelve university students from various departments and grades of Middle East Technical University in Ankara participated in the study. Turkish version of Experiences in Close Relationships-Revised (ECR-R, Sel&ccedil / uk, G&uuml / naydin, S&uuml / mer and Uysal, 2005), and Conflict Behaviors Questionnaire (Tezer, 1986) was applied to students to collect data. The results of cluster analysis employed on the scores of ECR-R yielded four clusters corresponding to four attachment styles (fearful, dismissing, preoccupied, and secure). A two-way ANOVA (2 gender X 4 Attachment Style) was applied to each of the five conflict behaviors. Results yielded a significant main effect for gender in accommodating behavior and a significant main effect for attachment styles in compromising behavior. In accommodating behavior, independent samples t-test was used to find out any significant difference between males and females and the results showed that the males were more inclined to use accommodating behavior than females. No significant difference was found in any of the other conflict behaviors as a function of attachment styles between males and females.

Forskning har visat att det finns ett samband mellan anknytningsmönster och konfliktbeteenden där personer med otrygg anknytning oftare använder sig av destruktiva konfliktbeteenden (Dijkstra, Barelds, Ronner, & Nauta, 2017; Feeney & Karantzas, 2017; Fowler & Dillow, 2011). Studiens syfte var dels att undersöka om samma individ använde sig av samma konfliktbeteende i en konflikt med en nuvarande och tidigare partner, samt dels att undersöka sambandet mellan anknytningsmönster och konfliktbeteenden mot både tidigare och nuvarande partner. Deltagarna (N = 48) besvarade ett webbaserat frågeformulär som behandlade generella frågor om deltagaren, konfliktbeteende mot tidigare respektive nuvarande partner, skattning av tidigare respektive nuvarande partners konfliktbeteende samt anknytning till tidigare respektive nuvarande partner. Resultaten visade ett starkt stöd för att kritik som konfliktbeteende användes likvärdigt mot tidigare och nuvarande partner, medan stödet var svagare för konfliktbeteendena förakt, försvar och undandragande. Otrygg undvikande anknytning var en prediktor för undandragande konfliktbeteende mot nuvarande partner, medan även otrygg ambivalent anknytning var en prediktor mot tidigare partner. Mot nuvarande partner var otrygg ambivalent anknytning en prediktor för konfliktbeteendena kritik, förakt och försvar. Mot tidigare partner var även otrygg undvikande anknytning en prediktor för förakt och försvar. Studiens tillämpning och betydelse för framtida forskning diskuteras. / Research has shown that there is a connection between attachment patterns and conflict behaviors, where people with insecure attachment often use destructive conflict behaviors (Dijkstra, Barelds, Ronner, & Nauta, 2017; Feeney & Karantzas, 2017; Fowler & Dillow, 2011). The purpose of the study was to investigate if the same person used the same conflict behaviors if the conflict was with a past or present partner, and to investigate whether there was a connection between attachment patterns and conflict behaviors towards both past and present partners. Participants (N = 48) answered a web-based questionnaire that addressed general questions about participants, conflict behavior towards past and present partners, estimation of past and present partners' conflict behavior, and attachment to past and present partners, respectively. The results showed strong support for criticism being equally used to past and present partners, but weaker support for contempt, defense and stonewalling. Avoidant attachment was a predictor of stonewalling towards both past and present partners, with ambivalent attachment as an additional predictor for past partners. Towards present partners, ambivalent attachment was a predictor of criticism, contempt and defense; towards past partner avoidant attachment was also a predictor of contempt and defense. The study’s application and significance for future research are discussed.

The aim of the study was to investigate the relationship among conflict distress, conflict attributions (self/partner blame), perceived conflict behaviors (similarity/difference) and relationship satisfaction. Relationship Conflict Inventory (RCI), Dyadic Adjustment Scale (DAS), Conflict Behaviors Questionnaire and Demographic Information Form was administered to 58 dating couples. In order to investigate the predictive power of conflict distress level, conflict attributions (self/partner blame), perceived conflict behaviors (similarity/difference) and demographic variables on relationship satisfaction stepwise regression analyses was carried out. Moreover, separate cross partial pairwise intraclass correlations conducted in order to examine the relationship between one partner&#039 / s conflict distress level, conflict attributions (self/partner blame), perceived conflict behaviors (similarity/difference) and the other partner&#039 / s relationship satisfaction / and to examine the relationship between one partner&#039 / s conflict distress, conflict attributions (self/partner blame) and the other partner&#039 / s perceived conflict behaviors (similarity/difference). Additionally, it was also aimed to examine demographic variables&#039 / (namely, gender) effects on each variable and in all analysis. The results revealed that higher levels of conflict distress and perceived difference on conflict behaviors predict lower levels of relationship satisfaction. Additionally, results yielded that in predicting women&#039 / s relationship satisfaction conflict distress accounts as the only variable, whereas for men similarity on perceived conflict behaviors and blaming self predicted relationship saitsfaction. It is also found that one partner&#039 / s conflict distress, partner blame and perceived conflict behavior difference negatively correlated with the other partner&#039 / s relationship satisfaction / and one partner&#039 / s conflict distress and partner blame is positively correlated with the other partner&#039 / s perceived conflict behaviors (similarity/difference). Furthermore, results indicated no gender differences on conflict distress level, conflict attributions (self/partner blame), and perceived conflict behavior (similarity/difference). The results are discussed in the light of literature.
