Who should take out the trash this week? Who is to
be doing the dishes? Disagreement and conflict are a
naturally occurring part of any close and intimate
relationship. Much research has been conducted on
close relationships and conflict resolution.
However, there has been little research that views
conflict resolution as a positive construct that
permits the perception of win-win rather than
win-loss. Past research has shown a relationship
between levels of satisfaction and equity within
relationships. In addition, research findings on
conflict and equity suggest several theoretically
driven hypotheses that may help to account for the
variability of satisfaction and conflict resolution
outcomes. The focus of this work is to examine the
development and validation of a measure to assess a
person's level of compromise in his or her close
relationship.
