RESUMOA resolução dos conflitos no casamento está associada às estratégias utilizadas pelos cônjuges. Entretanto, os estudos sobre as estratégias e suas repercussões na conjugalidade são escassos no contexto nacional. O objetivo desta pesquisa foi identificar e compreender as estratégias de resolução de conflito utilizadas em casamentos de longa duração e a sua reverberação na dinâmica conjugal. Trata-se de um estudo qualitativo, exploratório e descritivo. Os dados foram coletados por meio de grupo focal, composto por nove pessoas, e submetidos à análise de conteúdo. Foram identificadas 'estratégias de prevenção' dos conflitos auto observando emoções e reações, atentando à predisposição do parceiro ao diálogo e à gravidade dos conflitos. Expectativas e estratégias podem mudar ao longo do tempo de casamento enquanto determinadas características do parceiro e padrões de interação são estáticos e fazem parte da dinâmica do relacionamento que se atualiza e se retroalimenta por meio de questões individuais e conjugais.Palavras-chave: Casamento; conflito conjugal; resolução de problemas. ABSTRACT Marital Conflict Resolution Strategies: Perceptions of a Focus GroupThe resolution of conflict in marriage is associated with the strategies used by the spouses. However, the lack of studies on strategies and their impact on marital reveals the need for research in the national context. The objective was to identify and understand the conflict resolution strategies used in long-term marriages and its reverberations in the couple dynamic. This is a qualitative, exploratory and descriptive study. Data were collected through a nine people focus group and subjected to content analysis. From the results were identified conflict 'prevention strategies' self observing emotions and reactions, attention to the predisposition of partner dialogue and severity of conflicts. Expectations and strategies may change long-term in the marriage while some partner's characteristics and interaction patterns are static and are part of marital dynamics that updates and feeds itself through individual and marital issues.

How Do Couples Disagree? An Analysis of Conflict Resolution Profiles and the Quality of Romantic Relationships

“…The distribution of spouses across profiles was consistent with previous qualitative studies addressing conflict resolution strategies in Brazil. These studies show that Brazilian couples tend to manage disagreements in a friendly or indirect way, but, at the same time, present high-intensity emotions (Costa & Mosmann 2015;Garcia & Tassara, 2001). Thus, it is not surprising that the majority of spouses was classified either in the Volatile or in the Validator profiles.…”

“…Studies investigating couples conflict resolution are scarce in Brazil. Only a few descriptive studies about the prevalence of relationship conflict resolution strategies (Bolze, Crepaldi, Schmidt, & Vieira, 2013;Costa & Mosmann, 2015;Garcia & Tassara, 2001) or its association with variables such as relationship quality, attachment, and sociodemographic data (Delatorre & Wagner, 2018;Scheeren et al, 2014;Scheeren, Delatorre, Neumann, & Wagner, 2015) were found in this context. Although conflict resolution in Brazil is somewhat similar to other Western cultures, there are probably some subtle, but important, differences in the way Brazilian couples manage their disagreements.…”

“…Although conflict resolution in Brazil is somewhat similar to other Western cultures, there are probably some subtle, but important, differences in the way Brazilian couples manage their disagreements. Qualitative studies conducted so far indicate that couples tend to address conflicts in a friendly or indirect way but, at the same time, show high-intensity emotions (Costa & Mosmann, 2015;Garcia & Tassara, 2001). Thus, it is important to understand how couples combine different strategies for managing their conflicts and how these combined strategies are associated with marital quality.…”

Conflitos Conjugais e Parentais em Famílias com Crianças: Características e Estratégias de Resolução

“…Avoidance may be understood as a destructive strategy, in the sense that the spouses opt not to talk about the conflictive questions, and leave their quarrels to be resolved by time (Bolze et al, 2013). However, it should be clarified that avoidance is not always understood as a destructive strategy (Costa & Mosmann, 2015). There are couples who consider themselves satisfied with their marriages and are characterized as being of the avoiders type, that is, their style is to minimize the problems and avoid conflicts, emphasizing the positive aspects of the relationship (Driver, Tabares, Shapiro, & Gottman, 2016).…”
