A Model of the Perceived Competence of Conflict Strategies.

Canary, Daniel J.; Spitzberg, Brian H.

Human Communication Research, v15 n4 p630-49 Sum 1989

Examines how strategic communication is linked to specific relational features. Finds that integrative strategies were positively linked to competence, whereas distributive and avoidant strategies were negatively linked to competence. Supports the view that competence perceptions mediate the link between conflict messages and relational outcomes. (MS)
