Publication Type: Conference Paper/Unpublished Manuscript Abstract: The current study examined how culture, other-positive, other-negative, self-positive, and self-negative face goals influence individuals’ use of three different avoiding behaviors, avoiding as if nothing has happened, avoiding current conflict and future relationship, and avoiding but seeking future revenge. Participants (US: N = 394; China: N = 259) reacted to created conflict scenarios. Several major findings resulted from this study. First, the main effects of national culture were quite strong in predicting the three avoiding behaviors in interpersonal conflict. Chinese were more likely than U.S. Americans to avoid the conflict as if nothing has happened or avoid future relationships with the other party in the conflict. Moreover, culture interacted with self-positive and other-negative face goals or self-negative and other-negative face goals to influence the use of avoiding future relationship and avoiding but seeking future revenge strategies. Self-negative and other-negative face goals were found to affect the use of avoiding as if nothing has happened and avoiding future relationships, whereas the other-positive face goal was found to affect the use of avoiding future relationships and avoiding but seeking revenge.
