Conflict Styles Analysis

PRELIMINARIES:

Select a partner to do this activity with you, someone with whom you have an interpersonal relationship (friend, relative, romantic partner, roommate, etc.). Choose someone with whom you are willing to discuss your communicative behavior and who is willing to discuss such matters with you.

There are three handouts to print for each part of this activity.

PART I:

Step 1. Complete the Thomas-Kilmann Conflict Mode Instrument, "Me about Me," in the context of your relationship with your partner.

Step 2. Your partner will complete the other Thomas-Kilmann Conflict Mode Instrument, "Partner about Me." (You can put your name in the blanks.) CAUTION: Your partner is NOT filling this out on him/herself; he/she is filling it out on YOU!

Step 3. Using the handout, Scoring the Thomas-Kilmann Conflict Mode Instrument, calculate your styles from your inventory "Me about Me" and your styles as perceived by your partner on "Partner about Me."

Step 4. Discuss, with your partner, how you and your partner perceive your style similarly and differently.Would you like to change your conflict style in this relationship? Would your partner like you to change your conflict style?

PART II:

Repeat the four steps above, except this time your partner fills out "Me about Me" about him/herself and you fill out "Partner about Me" about your partner.
