Résumé
Le but de l’étude était d’examiner les associations dyadiques entre les stratégies de gestion de conflits (SGC) et la qualité de la relation conjugale auprès de 104 couples hétérosexuels. Les résultats ont montré qu’un usage plus fréquent de SGC positives chez un individu a prédit une satisfaction conjugale plus élevée chez cet individu et son ou sa partenaire, alors qu’un usage plus fréquent de SGC négatives a prédit une plus faible satisfaction conjugale et stabilité relationnelle chez cet individu seulement. L’étude souligne l’importance de gérer les conflits conjugaux de façon constructive afin de prévenir la détresse au sein des couples.
Mots-clés :
- stratégies de gestion de conflits,

Abstract
This study aimed to examine dyadic associations between conflict strategies and relationship quality in 104 heterosexual couples. Results showed that more frequent use of positive conflict strategies by an individual predicted higher couple satisfaction for that individual and his or her partner, while more frequent use of negative conflict strategies predicted lower couple satisfaction and relational stability for that individual only. This study highlights the importance of managing conjugal conflicts constructively to prevent distress among couples.
