A replication of Lawrence and Lorsch's (1967) findings of three modes of conflict resolution was attempted in a managerial sample. Various forms of factor analysis and rotation techniques did not yield a clear factor structure. The validity of the scale for purposes of measuring conflict resolution modes is seriously questioned as is what we teach in the area of conflict resolution.
Fry et al. (Sat,) studied this question.
