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.
