Analysis

This questionnaire is typically used in research or clinical experiments to study reactions and coping strategies that people adopt during periods of conflict. The resulting data can be used to better understand individuals’ behavior in critical situations and to develop effective interventions. The results of the CBQ-80 can provide interesting insights into how people react to conflicts and how these reactions affect their relationships and environment. They can also be used to guide interventions that help address conflicts in a more constructive way.

Objective

The primary aim of the Conflict Behaviour Questionnaire (CBQ-80) is to measure and understand behaviors related to conflict across various domains of human life. This includes measuring individual responses and behaviors in conflict situations, the strategies used to cope with conflicts, and the effects these conflicts have on relationships and the environment.

Scoring

The CBQ-80 consists of 80 questions covering topics such as perception of conflict, reaction to adverse situations, coping strategies, communication during conflict, and the impact of conflict on relationships. Participants are asked to assess various aspects of their behavior in specific situations.
