If there was a concern for Self this time, it was partly rooted in worry over whether his team would play with immediacy and intensity.
Rahim (1983) developed a model for categorizing conflict handling styles based on concern for self and concern for others.
Competitive style of conflict resolution indicates entrepreneurs' high concern for self and self-interests than that of others.
Based on the degree of each concern, the model outlines five groups of strategies: dominating (high concern for self, low concern for other), integrating (high concern for self, high concern for other), obliging (low concern for self, high concern for other), avoiding (low concern for self, low concern for other), and compromising (intermediate concerns for self and other).
Elliot presents the minimal concern for self concept as distinct from appreciation but this distinction depends upon the boundaries one places around the appreciation ability which seems sufficiently broadly defined to encompass minimal concern for self.
According to the framework of the present study, this indicates a high concern for self (see Figure 1).
Thus, in the present study, analysis was conducted on the four conflict management strategies of dominating, compromising, integrating, and obliging based on the dimensions of concern for self and concern for other in accordance with the dual concern model.
For Korea, dominating was frequently preferred, as was the case with 3-year-olds toward intimate targets, indicating high concern for self; for recently acquainted targets, obliging in addition to dominating became prevalent, indicating high concern for self and other concurrently.
For recently acquainted targets, 3-year-olds frequently preferred dominating, integrating, and obliging strategies, indicating concurrently high concern for self and other.
Especially in a disagreement situation, concern for self was emphasized, and dominating was shown to be predominantly preferred (Luo, 2008; Luo et al., 2007).
