Abstract Details

2018, Master of Arts, Marietta College, Psychology.
Researchers have developed groups for communicative responses, specifically focusing on negotiation, non-confrontation, direct fighting, and indirect fighting, as forms of categorizing behaviors. These categories incorporate several psychological characteristics, including self esteem and jealousy, both of which have consistently been found to be strong predictors of communication strategy. The addition of trait anxiety arose from the direct relationship found between this construct, jealousy, and self-esteem. Due to this relationship, the current study investigated the influence of self-esteem, jealousy, and trait anxiety on communicative strategies used in face to face conflict situations within heterosexual, romantic relationships. One hundred twenty one participants answered a series of questions regarding their romantic relationships, and responses to conflict situations with their partners. A discriminant regression analysis model was not significant, but several correlations were found between predictor variables and communication style utilized.
