Abstract
This study explored the relationship between personality traits and
conflict resolution styles of single and married individuals. The sample
comprised of 120 participants including 60 single individuals (30 men
and 30 women) and 60 married individuals (30 men and 30 women) who
were taken from the general community of two cities of Pakistan, Gujrat
and Lalamusa. Urdu versions of the Big Five Inventory (John &
Srivastava, 1999) and Organizational Conflict Management Inventory
(Anis-ul-Haque, 2003) were used for assessment. Data were analyzed
using Pearson Product Moment Correlation Coefficient, Multiple Linear
Regression, and One-Way ANOVA. Results revealed that significant
relationship exists between different personality traits predict the
different conflict resolution styles of unmarried and married individuals.
Moreover, both unmarried and married individuals vary in the way of
managing conflicts. The conflict resolution styles of married individuals
are adaptive and healthy as compared to unmarried individuals. Present
findings might prove helpful for psychologists/counselors to guide
unmarried and married individuals how to manage conflicting situations
constructively.
