EFFECTIVE COMMUNICATION IN COUPLE
EFFECTIVE COMMUNICATION IN COUPLE

Summary/Abstract: Psychological studies have shown that the most common causes of family conflicts are communication disorders, the lack of ability to manage emotions. Modern studies on the reaction of spouses to family conflict and the dependence of perception on gender characteristics have revealed that, regardless of the length of family life, both men and women tend to look at the conflict through the prism of their own expectations, ideas, without taking into account the opinion of a partner, which is evidence of a lack of orientation towards the partner. For young families, the most typical are the conflicts arising on the basis of relations with relatives, the distribution of power with a pronounced dominance of one of the spouses, as well as the planning of the family budget. Over time, these causes of conflict become less expressed, disagreements about the education of children come to the fore and the disruption of role expectations. The dominant behavioral strategy for women is avoidance, for men it is compromise. At the same time, both women and men are ready to cooperate to preserve the psychological comfort of the family, but unlike women, husbands are more inclined to violate their husbands' rights in order to achieve their own.
