Abstract
In order to explore the power process, a hypothetical model which explains the interrelationships among 3 marital power(traditional, egalitarian, personal), 3 influence strategies(reward, coercion, emotional), and 2 negative conflict resolution styles(attack vs. avoidance) was developed. In order to examine the gender differences, male model and female model were developed separately and compared. Using the data collected from 182 males and 196 females, the hypothetical model was tested. For data analysis, SEM was used. As a result, 3 common paths were found: Greater use of emotional influence strategy increased attack as well as avoidance. Greater egalitarian power increased reward. Egalitalian power affected the use of coercion, but the direction was opposed: male's egalitarian power decreased coercion, while female's egalitarian power increased it. Except these, the analyses revealed the substantial differences between male and female. Based on the findings, the ways to reduce attack and avoidance, and theoretical implications were discussed.
