dc.description.abstractThe study was conducted to identify status and relationship of “Conflict management and marital satisfaction among dual-earning couples during the year 2010-11 in Dharwad city. One hundred and fifty working couples residing in Dharwad urban locality were selected purposively. Thomas-Kilmann MODE Instrument (1977) and marital satisfaction scale developed by Roach et.al (1981) were administered individually to assess conflict management and marital satisfaction of the couples. Garett ranking, chi-square and correlation analyses were used to analyze the data. The results revealed that husbands preferred the collaboration style followed by accommodation, avoidance, compromise and then competition whereas wives preferred accommodation style followed by collaboration, compromise, avoidance and then competition to resolve conflict. Husbands were significantly high in the usage of collaboration style compared to wives whereas wives were significantly high in the usage of accommodation style compared to husbands. Wives with younger Age, higher income, larger family size and more than 20 years of married life were significantly high in the adoption of accommodation style, and husbands with higher education and working in private organization were significantly high in their adoption of collaboration style and husbands living in small family were significantly high in the adoption of compromise style and those living in large family were high in the adoption of avoidance style. Correspondingly more number of wives (56%) were satisfied with their marital life compared to husbands (50%). Wives with advanced age, length of marriage and number of children were significantly less satisfied with their marital life whereas husbands with higher income and secured occupation were significantly more satisfied with their marital life. Husbands were more satisfied when they adopted collaboration style and their wives adopted accommodation style. Similarly, wives were more satisfied when they adopted collaboration style and their husband adopted accommodation style and were less satisfied when they adopted competition style in their conflict management process.en_US
