Title: The Interpersonal Conflict and Resolution (iCOR) Study

Summary: The purpose of the Interpersonal Conflict and Resolution (iCOR) study was to inform research on the prevalence and etiology of conflict, victimization, offending and the commonly identified phenomenon referred to as the 'victimoffender overlap' in criminology. More specifically, this study was designed to determine the nature, incidence, and coincidence of forms of interpersonal conflict and resulting conflict management styles, including physical violence, in an existing nationally-representative cohort of 18-32 year old adults. Respondent reports of conflicts involving aggressive and violent behavior (offending and victimization) were distinguished for three relationship categories: intimate partner relationships, friends/acquaintances, and relatively unknown persons/strangers. Furthermore, employing a dyadic data collection design, we assessed the nature of conflicts and conflict management behavioral patterns within and outside intimate partner dyads, using information reported by both "Prime" respondents (members of the general population sample who referred an intimate partner to recruitment for an iCOR survey) and three types of counterpart relationships: (1) the Prime's current intimate partner or spouse, defined as seeing each other, dating, living together, or married; (2) friends, defined as people whom the Prime knows well and feels very friendly towards and who feels friendly toward the Prime in return; and (3) strangers, defined as people the Prime occasionally encounters but doesn't really know or people whom the Prime has never seen before. The research design covered questions about the nature and frequency of conflicts experienced irrespective of whether the incidents ended violently; conflict management style/tendencies (remedial actions, apologies, accounts); and differences between conflicts that turn violent and those that do not. We also assessed the frequency of violence during the course of disputes, including experiences with physical (e.g., assaultive behaviors, weapon attacks) victimization and the perpetration of violent acts. Finally, we investigated the elements that facilitate conflict escalation that are deemed important theoretical constructs in research on aggression, such as adverse childhood events, low self-control, negative affect, street code attitudes, routine activities/lifestyles, agreeableness, and alcohol and drug use, in addition to demographic and other person-level variables.
