  abstract: Interpersonal conflict is an inevitable part of life and may be an especially conspicuous aspect of social life in adolescence. This study used the five-factor model of personality and multiple-method procedures to probe patterns of interpersonal conflict among minority and majority adolescents. The study focused on the dimension of agreeableness. Participants (N= 1 67) were 6th, 7th, and 8th grade African-, Mexican-, and European American adolescents from the Brazos Valley, in central Texas. In phase one, adolescents used a computer to provide self-descriptions of their personality. Teachers were also asked to provide personality descriptions and professional judgments of interpersonal adjustment for each adolescent. In phase two, adolescents evaluated the efficacy of conflict resolution tactics within the context of hypothetical situations. In phase three, adolescents kept diary records of daily conflicts for two weeks. Results suggested some noteworthy qualifications of omnibus generalizations about adolescents. There were systematic relationship dependencies and agreeableness differences among adolescents in responsiveness to conflict. Adolescents lower in agreeableness reported that destructive conflict tactics were more acceptable than did adolescents higher in agreeableness, Agreeableness differences were also related to day-to-day conflict behaviors, as reported in diary records. In addition, the perceived efficacy of tactics varied with type of relationship within which the conflict occurred. Results are discussed in terms of a Lewinian process-oriented approach for understanding conflict as an aspect of social interaction, personality, and development.
