Abstract

The Dual-Concern perspective posits two independent motives that shape conflict behavior: protecting or advancing one’s own outcomes (assertiveness) and caring about the counterpart’s outcomes (cooperativeness). High concern on both dimensions invites joint problem solving; low concern invites disengagement.
