Perceiving interpersonal conflict and reacting to it: The case for agreeableness
Graziano, Jensen-Campbell and Hair, Journal of Personality and Social Psychology 70(4), 1996, 820-835. Study 1 (N = 263) had participants rate 11 conflict resolution strategies across five relationship types; high and low agreeable participants both preferred negotiation and disengagement to power assertion, and low agreeable participants rated power assertion more favourably. Study 2 (N = 124) paired participants to resolve two social problems jointly, with observers coding videotaped interactions.
