Conflict Resolution in Marriage: Toward a Theory of Spousal Strategies and Marital Dissolution Rates.

Chafetz, Janet Saltzman

Journal of Family Issues, v1 n3 p397-421 Sep 1980

Rates of marital dissolution are a function of the relative equality between spouses in terms of the types of conflict-resolution strategies they are able to employ. (Author)
