Subclaims¶

q3 i? Paired-sample comparisons of conflict handling styles before and after training found no statistically significant difference between experimental and control groups on the Thomas-Kilmann MODE subscales. → Abel Gitimu Waithaka 2015

q3 · i? · causal · r1

Pre-test/post-test control-group study at a Mid-Western public university; 133 experimental and 135 control participants post-tested. Paired samples t-tests on MODE subscales showed, e.g., "No significant difference from precollaborating to postcollaborating was found ( t(130) = 1.029, p>.05)."

"The results showed there is no statistically significant difference in conflict handling styles between experimental and control groups as reflected by the pre-test and post-test for conflict resolution after training on conflict handling."

• The one-week, one-time training duration was too short to produce statistically significant change in conflict handling styles — related
• Conflict orientation scores decreased significantly in both trained and untrained groups, so the decrease cannot be ascribed to the training — related
