The Effects of Willingness to Admit Wrongness on Romantic Partners’ Conflict Styles
Does humility and willingness to admit wrongness correlate with specific conflict styles between romantic partners? Researchers hypothesized that an individual’s high willingness to admit wrongness may have been correlated with the compromise, separation, and/or submission conflict styles. Researchers also hypothesized that an individual’s low willingness to admit wrongness may have been correlated with the domination, avoidance, and/or interactional reactivity conflict styles. The Norris Rotation was used to recruit participants. Participants were given the Willingness to Admit Wrongness scale, as well as the Romantic Partner Conflict Scale. Researchers found very weak correlations among admitting wrongness and each conflict style.
