✦ Synopsis

M.is&ippi Used a 2 (High or Low Assertive) X 2 (Role-Play or Contrived In Vivo) design to investigate the external validity of role-play (N = 32). The Conflict Resolution Inventory was used as the selection device. Results indicated a positive relationship between self-report scores and role-pla behavior. They also indicated that self-report scores were not predictive o f behavior in the contrived in vivo condition; moreover, mertion was enhanced in the roleplay condition, while the converse occurred in the Contrived in vivo condition. The results indicate that generalizations to more naturalistic settings based upon role-play or self-report scores must be made with caution.
