TI  - The role of personality in task and relationship conflict.
PG  - 311-44
AB  - Two studies explored the extent to which dispositions influence the attributions 
      individuals make about the type of conflict they experience. Traits from the 
      Five-Factor Model of personality (FFM) were linked to the tendency to experience 
      task-and relationship-oriented conflict. Results provide some support for the 
      idea that individuals have stable tendencies in the attributions they make about 
      their conflict experiences across time, partners, and situations. Agreeableness 
      and openness were related to reports of relationship conflict at the individual 
      level. However, the strongest effects of personality on conflict attributions 
      were found in the analysis of dyads. This analysis revealed that partner levels 
      of extraversion and conscientiousness were associated with individuals' 
      tendencies to report relationship conflict. Moreover, mean levels of extraversion 
      and conscientiousness in a pair were associated with reports of relationship 
      conflict. Differences between partners in extraversion were associated with more 
      frequent conflict and a greater likelihood of reporting task-related conflict. 
      Implications of these findings with respect to the role of personality in 
      interpersonal relationships are discussed. Finally, these studies provide 
      confirmatory evidence that conflict attributions have a meaningful impact on 
      relationship satisfaction.
