Abstract

This correlational study investigated the relationship between emotional expressivity and conflict management among married
couples. The results show the contribution of demographic variables in emotional expressivity and conflict management. The
emotional expressivity was evaluated by employing Barkeley Expressivity Questionnaire and examined the conflict management
by using The Disagreement Scale-When We Disagree. A significant relationship was observed between emotional expressivity
and conflict management among married couples. The findings have provided some support to previous literature that found the
conflict management affected by emotional expressivity in married couples. Marriage duration is a positive factor for improving
emotional expressivity and conflict management among married couples. The present study showed a strong relationship between
emotional expressivity and conflict management among married couples.
