Abstract

Relationship conflict typically occurs because at least one party perceives a violation or threat to relationship rules, themes, beliefs, or boundaries (Galvin & Brommel, 1986). Conflict becomes a suasory process as partners tacitly or overtly attempt to negotiate these violations or threats. Thus, conflict necessarily involves interpersonal influence, or the use of verbal and nonverbal strategies to establish, reinforce, and alter others’ cognitions, emotions, and behaviors (Seibold, Cantrill, & Meyers, 1985).
