One hundred fifty-one undergraduate participants were administered the Thomas-Kilmann Conflict Mode Instrument (Kilmann & Thomas, 1977) to measure avoiding, accommodating, competing, compromising and collaborating. Perceived high frequency of interparental conflict was associated with lower self-esteem in females. Results replicated R. F. Hanson's (1991) finding that perceived frequency of interparental conflict combined with conflict management style scores predict self-esteem better than either measure alone.39 pagesen-USCollege students -- Self-esteemCollege students -- Conflict management styleCollege students -- DepressionCollege students -- AggressionText
