Abstract

The main development task of the adolescent is the formation and maturation of self-concept clarity, which reaches its highest level of rank-order stability at the age of late adolescence. Self-concept clarity refers to the extent to which self-beliefs are clearly and confidently defines, internally consistent and stable over time. The process of maturation and puberty which prompting adolescent’s attempts in forming new relationships, as well as increasing self-disclosure behavior between them. Self-disclosure is any message about the self that person communicates to others. On the other hand, the process of attaining autonomy during adolescence also increasing the frequency and intensity of conflict, which conflict management becomes important in this development period. Conflict management depicts an individual’s behavior in dealing with a conflict situation. This research examines the relationship between self-concept clarity and self-disclosure with conflict management modes in late adolescence. Used by this research are the Self-Concept Clarity Scale, Revised Self-Disclosure Scale, and Thomas-Kilmann Conflict Mode Instrument in examining variables of the research. Involving 508 late adolescents with a conflicting situation with their significant others, and using multiple correlations are proven that self-concept clarity shows a positive significant correlation with the usage of collaborating and compromising modes particularly in a conflicting situation. Also shows that the dimension of self-disclosure, specifically intend to disclose, amount factor, honesty-accuracy, and control of general depth, are found to have a positive significant correlation with the preference of conflict management modes.
