Determining the conflict resolution strategies of university students

Interpersonal Conflicts and Styles of Managing Conflicts among Students at Bahir Dar University, Ethiopia

“…A previous study made by Betty (1998) in selected USA schools found that about 25% engaged in compromising and 26% in collaborating as major conflict management styles.
