Who should take out the trash this week? Who is tobe doing the dishes? Disagreement and conflict are anaturally occurring part of any close and intimaterelationship. Much research has been conducted onclose relationships and conflict resolution. However, there has been little research that viewsconflict resolution as a positive construct thatpermits the perception of win-win rather thanwin-loss. Past research has shown a relationshipbetween levels of satisfaction and equity withinrelationships. In addition, research findings onconflict and equity suggest several theoreticallydriven hypotheses that may help to account for thevariability of satisfaction and conflict resolutionoutcomes. The focus of this work is to examine thedevelopment and validation of a measure to assess apersons level of compromise in his or her closerelationship.
