Abstract
The article purpose is to present and discuss the results of the empirical study on the frequency, structure of women students’ accentuated traits and such traits influence on their conflict management styles. The study was conducted with 104 undergraduate women students aged of 21-23 years from March 2019 to May 2019. Schmieschek Questionnaire and Thomas-Kilmann Conflict Mode Instrument were used. The article present contradictory facts confirming and, at the same time, denying the significant differences in accentuated traits characteristic for women students in Ukraine and in the Russian Federation. So, it confirms the necessity to diagnose accentuated traits for every new sample with certain age, gender, political, socio-economic, socio-psychological and others peculiarities. Seven out of ten accentuated traits (hyperthymia, rigidity, emotiveness, pedantry, anxiety, cyclothymia, excitation) influence to a some degree on women students’ conflict management styles, besides of others factors. Hyperthymia, rigidity and emotiveness influence the most strongly. Pedantry, anxiety, cyclothymia, excitation have moderate influence. Demonstrativeness, dysthymia, exaltation do not influence considerably. Rigidity, emotiveness, pedantry, and anxiety support some conflict management styles. Hyperthymia, cyclothymia, excitation make a barrier for certain styles. Four types of connections between women students’ accentuated traits and their conflict management styles were formed. These are strong attractive (rigidity and competing, emotiveness and accommodating) and strong blocking (excitation and accommodating, demonstrativeness and avoiding), moderate attractive (anxiety and competing, pedantry and competing, dysthymia and avoiding) and moderate blocking (hyperthymia and avoiding, cyclothymia and accommodating) types.
Highlights
IntroductionThe need for our work is determined by the fact that links between women students’ personal accentuations and styles of their behaviour during interpersonal conflicts are not studied
Cyclothymia means a person characterised by alternations of hyperthymia and dysthymia signs
Taking into account the fact that a personality’s accentuations are dependent on the age and sociocultural factors (Leongard, 1989), it would be interesting to compare the data of different previous studies on women students’ samples in Ukraine and in the Russian Federation. The opportunity for this comparison is provided by such earlier conducted works as N.A.Dudukalo’s one, which highlights the gender differences in correlations between accentuations and conflict management styles at the pupils aged of 16-17 years (Dudukalo, 2014), G.M
Summary
The need for our work is determined by the fact that links between women students’ personal accentuations and styles of their behaviour during interpersonal conflicts are not studied. Be very productive in view of its holistic approach to the interpretation of a personality as a biosocial creature with both biologically determined (temperament) and socially defined (character) traits which are combined and intertwined. This provides space for the widespread use of psychological diagnostics of accentuations in medical practice both in propaedeutics and in the treatment of various personality disorders, emotional-volitional states, somatic diseases, etc. Kovalenko (2007) is an example of research in this area; it shows that the accentuation of certain personality’s traits correlates significantly with such communicative indicators as interrelations of individual and social attitudes, the modality of emotional reactions, operational difficulties during communication
