AbstractThe purpose of this study was to examine how culture influences styles of interpersonal conflict resolution. Data collected from international students was found to be consistent with Ting-Toomey's (1985) theoretical predictions. Specifically, members of low-context cultures used solution orientations more than members of high-context cultures, while members of high-context cultures used nonconfrontation more than members of low-context cultures.
