Question

Please provide the best answer for the best statement.

Answer 1

1. A prominent script for conflict resolution in North America is based on individual rights and the idea that conflict calls for self-assertion, negotiation, and compromise. Conversely, Indonesians tend to avoid overt expression of conflict by avoiding provocations, avoiding interactions with those whom they have a conflict, relying on polite and ritual forms of interactions, and minimizing the expression of strong opinions and emotions.
2. As far as approaches to resolving conflict, comparing Indonesian and American children, Indonesian children are more likely to disengage from conflict to maintain social harmony. Indonesian children who took this approach to conflict received higher teacher ratings on social status, suggesting Indonesian culture views disengagement to be valuable and competent.
