Conflict behavior models among adolescents with different gender identities
Self-awareness, one of the key components of which is gender identity, is formed during adolescence. The empirical research presented in the article focuses on revealing the relationship between the gender aspect and adolescents' behavior models in conflict situations. The research findings have shown that the more adolescents expressed their masculinity, the more they were prone to resort to the confrontation model in a conflict situation; the more they expressed their femininity, the more they were prone to the adaptive model.
