Ineffective Conflict Resolution Inventory (IAI) Test - Symptoms and Signs
This brief self-report measure is used to screen for patterns of unhelpful conflict management in close relationships. The Ineffective Conflict Resolution Inventory (IAI) focuses on how individuals typically respond during disagreements and the degree to which these responses may contribute to ineffective or destructive interaction.
It consists of 8 items and takes about 2 minutes to complete. Results are commonly used to inform clinical case formulation and to guide intervention targets in couples or family work, alongside other assessment data.
The Ineffective Conflict Resolution Inventory (IAI) is based on established models of conflict behavior associated with John Gottman and a behavioral style classification described by Kurdek (1994). Interpretation should consider relationship context, presenting concerns, and response bias, and it is not intended to function as a stand-alone diagnostic instrument.
