Conflict Resolution – Individual Protective Factors

Measuring the extent to which youth learn to constructively resolve peer conflicts is an indicator of whether or not they have acquired or are acquiring the social competence and skills to make choices that will strengthen their interpersonal relationships and facilitate success in school. This tool measures two conflict resolution skills: self-control and cooperation (6 items each).
