Description
Summary:This study analyzes the psychometric properties of an adapted version of the Rahim’s Inventory on Conflict Management Styles (ROCI-II, Form C; Rahim, 1983),which evaluates conflict-handling styles in the context of conflicts among adolescent high school classmates. The sample was composed of 663 Mexican high school students from 15 to 19 years old. Participants answered the ROCI-II as well as the Ross-DeWine Conflict Management Message Style Instrument (CMMS; Ross & DeWine, 1988). A confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) was performed, finding a moderate fit for a four-factor model. Possible differences by sex, age and school grade were analyzed. All these findings are discussed within the framework of the literature on conflict management styles in adolescents.
