Abstraksi:From a behavioral decision perspective on negotiation and conflict resolution, and emphasizing the role of communication in conflict management, this paper examines the relationships between decision-making patterns, conflict management styles, and communication skills in two samples of Mexican and Spanish university students (N = 441), and their possible cultural differences in these topics. The IndividualLsm/Collectivism dimension was taken as a possible criterion of cultural differences. Our translation of instruments into Spanish language to assess Individualism/Collectivism (Shulmf, Hattie, & Dixon, 2003) and Conflict Management Message Styles (Ross & DeWine, 1988) are presented with their confirmatoiy factorial analyses indicating that these constructs are equivalent to the original versions in English language. Expected results included strong relationships between decision-making patterns and conflict message styles, unexpected results from the literature including high individualism in Mexican students are discussed. A model in which the vigilance decision-making pattern and communication skills are intermediate variables between individualism and issue-oriented messages was shown to be significant after the corresponding structural analysis.
