Responses of Asian American and European American mediators to a conflict communication scale

Fifty‐nine European American and thirty‐one Asian American neighborhood justice center mediators completed the Conflict Communication Scale. Although previous research had demonstrated ethnic group differences in the conflict‐handling styles of nonmediator samples, no such differences were found in this sample of mediators. Asian American and European American mediators also scored similarly on several items assessing mediator identity salience. These results are discussed in terms of a mediation microculture.
