Abstract
Conflict resolution techniques used by young people are important for several reasons. The ability to settle conflicts with others, particularly between peers, is one of the most crucial components of a child's or young person's social skills as they grow and progress through the adolescent stage. This descriptive quantitative study assessed the conflict and conflict resolution attitudes and styles of 363 high school student leaders enrolled across nine (9) junior high schools currently enrolled in the Department of Education in Angeles City. Results showed that the respondents, who are mostly female, class officers and grade 10 students believed that there are better ways to solve problems than fighting or physical aggression; they displayed self-control and cooperation. In terms of conflict handling styles, data suggests that respondents utilized all styles, however, problem solving style is significantly preferred. These findings collectively imply that respondents are dedicated to creating a calm, encouraging atmosphere where conflicts are resolved non-violently. Recommendations for further research, to improve conflict resolution programs for young people are discussed.
