“…"Storming out of a meeting, pointing a finger in the other party's face, filibustering, or running out the clock" are some of the actions that could be used to express immature levels of defensiveness in conflict situations (Weingart et al, 2015, p. 242). Immature defensive responses are connected to negative outcomes (Babl et al, 2019;Chaudhury and Banerjee, 2020;Rajabpour and Omidvar, 2020;Vally et al, 2020) and other undesirable emotions and negativity (Parker et al, 1998). Building on our theoretical framework, we propound that the strain created by task conflict will be mediated by relationship conflicts, further intensifying immature defensive communication and leading to resource depletion.…”

“…Individuals will become less open to considering different points of view to be acceptable alternative possibilities to their own (Weingart et al, 2015) as their defensiveness rises from mature to neurotic to immature defensive communication and the intensity of conflict escalates. In addition, immature defensive responses are connected to negative outcomes like anxiousness (Babl et al, 2019), conflict (Chaudhury and Banerjee, 2020), shame (Rajabpour and Omidvar, 2020), low selfesteem (Vally et al, 2020) and other undesirable emotions and negativity (Parker et al, 1998), it may lead to resource depletion. Therefore, we propose: H1(c).…”

Purpose This study aims to examine task and relationship conflict and their linkage with defensive communication strategies, i.e. mature, neurotic and immature defensive communication. Furthermore, Study 1 also investigated the mediating impact of relationship conflict and the moderating impact of a manager’s active-empathic listening in dealing with task conflicts and the defensive communication of the employees. Study 2 intended to assess the causal direction of task conflicts and defensive communication strategies. Design/methodology/approach This research integrates the Job Demands–Resources framework, Conservation of Resources theory and Conflict Expression framework. Data from 124 professionals in India’s tertiary industry was gathered using a longitudinal approach. Study 1 analyses the dynamics between conflicts and defensive communication while considering managers’ active-empathic listening as a potential mitigating factor. Study 2 was conducted after a 10-month interim to delve into the intricate causal connections between defensive communication strategies and task conflicts. For analysing the data, SPSS was used for conducting confirmatory factor analysis. Furthermore, to analyse the conceptual framework and the hypothesised relationships in this study, partial least squares (PLS) modelling was performed using Smart-PLS 4.0. Findings Task conflicts have a significant negative association with mature and neurotic defensive communication, whereas they have a strong positive relationship with immature defensive communication. Relationship conflict significantly mediates the association between task conflict and immature defensive communication. The moderating role of the manager’s active-empathic listening was not supported. In addition, the relationship between immature defensive communication and task conflict is significantly positive, outlining their bidirectional association. In contrast, the association between mature defensive communication is significantly negative. This highlights the potential of immature defensive communication to create escalatory conflict spirals and of mature defensive communication to de-escalate them. Research limitations/implications Defensive communication strategies, commonly explored in the psychological realm, particularly within family and romantic relationship contexts, have received limited attention in organisational behaviour. This longitudinal study offers a unique perspective on the evolution of defensive communication and its impact on task conflict over time, enhancing the understanding of how individuals adapt their communication strategies as conflicts persist or dissipate. The investigation also advances the understanding of conflict spirals, illustrating the potential of mature defensive communication to de-escalate conflicts while revealing a bidirectional connection between immature defensive communication and task conflicts. Practical implications Leaders need to prioritise addressing task conflicts, particularly those that might spiral into relationship conflicts. This would present managers with the ability to make task conflicts more functional in nature, which could help to enhance both team and organisational achievements. The bidirectional relationship between task conflict and immature defensive communication points towards the exigency for managerial and organisational initiatives to prevent the development of conflict spirals at the workplace. Originality/value This study offers crucial interdisciplinary perspectives into the body of literature with the longitudinal investigation of the connections between managers’ active-empathetic listening, task conflict, relationship conflict and the various defensive communication strategies. With the help of insights from this study, managers and leaders will be empowered to take the necessary actions to reduce employee defensive behaviours and foster a supportive culture for evoking positive and desirable performance.

The purpose of the study was to analyze various psychosocial characteristics and to examine their association with the severity of ulcers in adolescents with chronic peptic ulcer. A cross-sectional descriptive study, using interview questionnaires and psychological tests was conducted in 214 adolescents diagnosed with chronic peptic ulcer at 03 central hospitals in Hanoi. The results showed that adolescents with peptic ulcer often had neurotic personality traits (83.1%), had a habit of staying up late after 12 pm (21%), irregular eating (48.1%), and smoked e-cigarettes (18.2%). The majority of the study subjects had psychological trauma (92.1%). The rate of adolescents with peptic ulcer disease suffering from stress, anxiety and depression accounted for 63.6%, 47.2% and 52.8% respectively. Multivariate regression analysis showed that factors including age, s gender, family with separated/divorced parents, conflict with parents, combination of many psychological traumas, sleeping late after 11 pm, irregular eating are factors that increase the risk of peptic ulcer.

Objective: This study is to assess the application value of information-based health education and continuity of care in patients with PU (peptic ulcer).Methods: Patients (116) with PU who have been treated in the hospital between January 2019 and October 2020 were taken as research objects and equally assigned to a control group and an observation group in a random manner. In contrast to the routine care applied to the control group, the observation group received information-based health education and continuity of care intervention. The clinical efficacy, the mastery of health knowledge, self-care ability, medication compliance, quality of life, mental state, and nursing satisfaction of the two groups were compared.Results: After the intervention, the total effective rate, health knowledge adequate rate, Exercise of Self-Care Agency (ESCA) scores of all dimensions, the MOS 36-item short-form health survey (SF-36) scores of all dimensions, medication compliance rate, and total nursing satisfaction of the observation group all notably exceeded those of the control group, with a p < 0.05. Patients of the group with continuity of care intervention showed lower Self-Rating Anxiety Scale (SAS) and Self-Rating Depression Scale (SDS) scores, as compared to the group with conventional care (p < 0.05).Conclusion: Information-based health education and continuity of care elevates the medication adherence and nursing satisfaction of patients with PU, enhances disease-related knowledge of patients and their self-care ability, and eventually ameliorates the quality of life and psychological state. It is worthy of clinical application.
