잠재 프로파일 분석을 통한 대학생의 갈등관리 유형 탐색

The purpose of this study was to identify the relationship between the types of conflict management used by university students and what conflict management strategies they potentially use in managing conflicts. The subjects of this study were 365 university students at a university in Seoul. And the conflict management type measurement tool that developed by Kilmann and Thomas (1975) and translated by Lee(2007) was used in this study. The collected data were statistically processed through bivariate correlation analysis and latent profile analysis. The results were as follows; first, university students used compromise, cooperation and acceptance type in conflict management, and competitive and avoidance type were used relatively little. Second, there were positive and negative correlations between the five conflict management types at the p=.01 significance level. However, there was no correlation between competition type and acceptance type. Third, as a result of examining the tendency of college students to use conflict management styles, 69% of college students use similar types of cooperation, compromise and acceptance types, and less competition and avoidance types in managing conflict. However, 31% of university students use cooperative type, compromise type, acceptance type, avoidance type and competition type evenly. This means that not all college students use specific types more or less when faced with conflict, but some use similar five types of conflict management, which means that there are two groups of characteristics in conflict management.
