Adult attachment and the conflict resolution in romantic relationships
Abstract
A connection between attachment styles and conflict resolution styles can be found in adult romantic relationships. In this study the relation between attachment styles and conflict resolution styles was examined. A total of 226 adults (84 % woman, 18–33 year old childless and unmarried participants) completed Experiences in Close Relationships-Revised a Relationship Partner Conflict Scale online. It was found that the secure attachment style is related to compromise style of the conflict resolution, insecure attachment style is related to destructive styles of the conflict resolution (domination, reactivity, separation, submission), and finally avoidant conflict resolution style has no connection with any of attachment styles.
