Abstract: | Gender differences in relationship quality, conflict perceptions, reported conflict strategy use, and self-monitoring orientations
were examined in a sample of undergraduates. It was predicted that males and high self-monitoring individuals would see their
relationships as less intimate, themselves as less committed, and would endorse more frequent use of uncooperative and avoidant
strategies. Participants (n=124) completed the following: a measure of conflict perceptions; a Conflict Strategy Scale measuring frequency of Cooperative,
Uncooperative, and Denial-Avoidant strategies; and Snyder’s Self-Monitoring Scale. Compared to females, males scored higher
in self-monitoring, saw friendships as less intimate and stable, saw their conflicts as more stable, and endorsed more frequent
use of Denial-Avoidant strategies. Masculine orientations to conflict reflected increased self-presentational concerns and
perceptions that minimized the personal relevance of conflict. |
