Index Description

The Conflict Resolution – Individual Protective Factors Index (CRIPFI-12) is a tool designed to assess individual protective factors that influence a person’s ability to resolve conflicts. It includes questions evaluating various factors such as emotional intelligence, communication skills, and self-regulation, which can enhance or diminish an individual’s ability to manage conflicts effectively.

Data Analysis and Usage

Data analysis from the CRIPFI-12 involves evaluating participants’ responses on a Likert scale, typically ranging from “strongly disagree” to “strongly agree.” The data are used to understand the individual protective factors that affect conflict resolution ability. Results can provide valuable insights for developing prevention and intervention strategies, as well as for enhancing individuals’ communication and emotional management skills.

Objective

The main objective of the CRIPFI-12 is to identify and assess individual protective factors that contribute to effective conflict resolution. The tool helps in understanding how personal characteristics and abilities affect individuals’ capacity to manage and resolve conflicts in a positive manner.

Calibration

Calibration of the CRIPFI-12 is typically done using a Likert scale, which allows participants to rate their level of agreement or disagreement with statements. Scores are analyzed to determine an individual’s overall ability to manage conflicts based on the protective factors identified.
