Wherever there are people in relationship to others, there will be conflict. The marriage relationship is no exception. In fact, conflict within marriage can be more volatile than less meaningful relationships, oftentimes damaging the relationship, depending on how each partner approaches conflict and whether or not they are capable of resolving it. Therapeutic interventions for couples focus more on techniques to resolve conflict rather than stylistic differences. In contrast, organizational psychologists utilize a variety of instruments in order to help individuals recognize different styles and their own preferred conflict styles. In doing so they assist clients in developing a broad range of styles suitable for varying situations. The Thomas-Kilmann Conflict Mode Instrument (TKI) is one of the most widely used instruments for this purpose. The TKI, however, has statistical limitations, mostly due to its ipsative nature. In order to answer psychometric questions regarding the TKI's validity, this study utilized both the original forced-choice format and a revised version employing Likert scales. Both versions were modified to orient the questions toward the marriage relationship. In order to assess the potential utility of the two different versions, both formats were compared with measures of conflict and marital satisfaction. The two versions of the TKI were administered to 58 participants in a workshop on conflict styles for couples. Married participants also completed the Conflict Tactics Scale (CTS) and the Dyadic Adjustment Scale (DAS). Correlations between the scores from these 4 instruments were compared in order to assess the TKI's utility in working with married couples. The results were encouraging. For this sample, 4 out of 5 subscales on the Likert version were significantly correlated to the original forced-choice version. In addition, several of the subscales on the Likert version were correlated with the DAS and the CTS subscales, suggesting a meaningful link between conflict styles, conflict behavior, and marital satisfaction. Although there are concerns regarding the Thomas-Kilmann instrument, the Likert version seems a viable alternative for both clinical and research purposes. It yields theoretically consistent results with regard to actual conflict behavior, and suggests a potentially useful relationship between conflict styles and marital adjustment.
