RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN THE VALUES AND CONFLICT RESOLUTION STRATEGIES IN CROSS-CULTURAL PERSPECTIVE

Abstract

This study investigated the connection between values and styles of handling interpersonal conflict in the context of two different societies. Important for us is the question which value determines the choice of one or another type of behaviour in the conflict situations. Data were collected with questionnaires from Ukraine and Bulgaria and processed with hierarchical regression analysis for each country. The results in the study were gathered by administrating a questionnaire for research of the value orientations (Krumov, 1990) and scales for styles of handling interpersonal conflict (Rahim, 1983). The study sample consisted of 275 Ukrainian undergraduates and workers in state and private organizations in Kiev, Odessa, Izmail and 253 Bulgarian undergraduates and workers in Sofia and Varna.
