| description | Purpose
– This paper aims to explore the relationships between self-construals, religious identification, and conflict styles in India.
Design/methodology/approach
– Data were gathered in India (n=1,108) among Hindus (n=744) and Muslims (n=364) in various organizations throughout India. Conflict styles were measured using Oetzel's conflict style measure. Self-construal was measured using Singelis' self-construal measure. Pearson correlations and multiple regressions were conducted.
Findings
– Correlation analysis showed significant negative correlation between the independent and interdependent self-construal. Multiple hierarchical regression modeling demonstrated significant interactions between religious identification, self-construal, and conflict style. Hindus are more likely to dominate in conflict situations, while Muslims are more likely to avoid conflict and prefer more group-oriented conflict styles.
Research limitations/implications
– Self-report measure is a possible limitation and the sample is religiously homogeneous.
Practical implications
– The results of this study could assist community organizers and others who work in conflict mediation resolve conflict among religious groups.
Originality/value
– Few studies have examined conflict styles in India and this study employs a macro and micro-level approach to the study of conflict. |
