"Communication & Conflict Resolution"

The "Communication & Conflict Resolution" scale consists of items such as ""If I were upset with someone, I would be likely to discuss it with him or her," and, "A certain amount of conflict in relationships is normal and healthy." It consists of items that assess an individual's communication style and beliefs regarding how to appropriately interact in close interpersonal relationships.
