“…Finally, adolescents' more general personality might also impact the way they handle conflicts, and might even moderate the impact of parenting on conflict management styles (Missotten et al 2016). For instance, adolescents with a more overcontrolling personality style might react to controlling parenting by more internalizing conflict behaviors, such as withdrawal or compliance, whereas adolescents with a more undercontrolling style might react in a more externalizing way (Yu et al 2014). Future studies should investigate possible moderators of these associations, to unravel under which conditions these associations appear.…”

Adolescents' conflict management styles with parents are assumed to have an important impact on the quality of the parent-adolescent relationship and on adolescents' psychosocial development. Longitudinal research investigating possible determinants of these conflict management skills is scarce. The parenting context and adolescents' tendency to reject maternal authority are expected to shape adolescents' conflict management styles. Therefore, the present three-wave longitudinal study focuses on how parenting and adolescents' reactance relates to adolescents' conflict management styles and conflict frequency with mothers over time, and whether reactance may also explain the associations between parenting and certain conflict variables. We addressed these research questions by using a hybrid cross-lagged panel model with parenting as a latent variable (i.e., supportive parenting) and the other variables as manifest variables. Supportive parenting was measured by four well-known parenting dimensions: autonomy support, responsiveness, psychological control, and harsh control. Four conflict styles were investigated: positive problem solving, withdrawal, conflict engagement, and compliance. Questionnaires were completed by 812 adolescents at three annual waves (52% girls at Time 1). Supportive parenting was associated with fewer conflicts, more positive problem solving, and less compliance and reactance over time. Reactance was associated with more conflicts, conflict engagement and withdrawal, and less compliance. We did not find evidence for the mediating role of reactance in the over-time associations between parenting and adolescents' conflict management and frequency. Both parenting and reactance appeared important and unique determinants for adolescents' conflict management styles and frequency.

“…The personal character had a close relationship with conflict resolution, which was making compromise and agreement with others as it entails motives to maintain positive interpersonal relationships [19]. The research done by Yu, Branje, Keijsers & Mees [20] showed that resilient teens had less conflict with friends compared to under-controllers and over-controllers. During the conflict, resilient teens used the least hostile conflict resolution and compliance and employed the most positive problem-solving.…”

This study aimed to explain the dynamic of jothakan as a conflict resolution in Javanese friendship. Participants of this research consisted of five Javanese adolescences who were familiar with and had experienced jothakan. Data were collected through in-depth interview and analyzed using content analysis. The result showed that jothakan happened when one or both parties felt right and was difficult to forgive his/her friend's mistakes. It was done to avoid open conflict and hope the problem fixed itself. The duration of jothakan was one until three days in average. Sometimes during this period, someone realized that his/her mistake was not a big deal so that it could be forgiven or forgotten. This phase is called mupus. Whenever someone could mupus then he/she could be in peace with him/herself so he/she could behave well again when interacting with others (wawuh). This process sometimes needs intervention from the third party, such as teachers or parents. Hence, it could be understood that jothakan may become a conflict resolution when it is used as an opportunity to introspect somebody's mistake so that he/she can make peace voluntarily then a solid harmony may exist.

“…Because personality and interpersonal relationships are linked (e.g., Mund and Neyer 2014), heterogeneity in parent-adolescent conflict intensity (De Goede et al 2009), as well as in its development (Seiffge-Krenke et al 2010), may stem from parental or adolescent personality. In the current study, a typological approach to personality was applied (Asendorpf and van Aken 1999), which recognizes that people employ a constellation of characteristics instead of single, segregated characteristics in isolation (Yu et al 2014). One of the most commonly applied person-centered approaches to personality is Block and Block's RUO (Resilients, Undercontrollers, Overcontrollers) typology (Block and Block 1980).…”

Parent-adolescent conflict can be intense, yet parents and adolescents do not always agree on the intensity of conflict. Conflict intensity tends to change during adolescence and is thought to be an indicator of how the parent-adolescent relationship transforms. However, parents and adolescents might differently perceive change in conflict intensity, resulting in changing discrepancies in conflict intensity throughout adolescence. Also, personality characteristics of parents and adolescents might affect the extent to which there are discrepancies in perceptions of conflict intensity. This multi-informant longitudinal study investigated a) the trajectories of parent-adolescent conflict intensity, b) the trajectories of informant discrepancies, and c) the prediction of these trajectories by parental and adolescent personality. Dutch adolescents (N = 497, 43.1% female, M age = 13.03 at T1), their mothers, and their fathers reported on parent-adolescent conflict intensity and personality for six years. Latent Growth Curve Modeling and Latent Congruence Modeling revealed curvilinear changes in conflict intensity, as well as in discrepancies thereof. Two cycles of discrepancies emerged. First, in early-to-middleadolescence discrepancies in perceptions of parents and adolescents increased, reflecting that adolescents' perceived conflict intensity increased. Second, in middle-to-late-adolescence, father-adolescent discrepancies increased further, reflecting that fathers' perceptions of conflict decreased. Resilient adolescents, mothers, and fathers reported lower levels of conflict intensity than Undercontrollers and Overcontrollers, but personality was not associated with the rate of change in conflict intensity. Finally, undercontrolling fathers and overcontrolling adolescents showed higher father-adolescent discrepancies. This study showed that parents and adolescents differentially perceive conflict intensity and that in the adolescent-father relationship, the extent of the differences depends on adolescent and father personality.
