Abstract

This study aims to examine the relationship between conflict resolution styles and serenity. The sample comprises 434 adults in marital or romantic relationships. Data were collected using the Conflict Resolution Styles Inventory and the Serenity Scale. The variables of age, relationship duration, and frequency of conflict were analyzed through one-way ANOVA. A t-test was used to analyze the relationship between gender and the variables of conflict resolution and serenity. According to the test results, there was no significant difference between gender and scales scores. The analyses revealed a significant positive relationship between conflict resolution styles and serenity. It was concluded that age is related to both conflict resolution and serenity; frequency of conflict is related only to serenity; and relationship duration is related only to conflict resolution styles. According to the results of the ANOVA test, it was determined that the scores obtained from the serenity scale and the conflict resolution styles scale showed significant differences across age groups. Furthermore, it was found that the scores derived from the serenity scale differed significantly based on the frequency of conflict. Additionally, it was concluded that the scores obtained from the conflict resolution styles scale exhibited a significant difference in relation to the duration of the relationship

Sample Article Main Document

It is obligatory for the publication association that the articles (Article Template) to be sent to Research on Education and Psychology (REP) have the following format characteristics.

EDITORIAL POLICIES
The publication process at REP is the basis of the improvement and dissemination of information objectively and respectfully. Therefore, the procedures in this process improves the quality of the studies. Peer-reviewed studies are the ones that support and materialize the scientific method. At this point, it is of utmost importance that all parties included in the publication process (authors, readers and researchers, publisher, reviewers and editors) comply with the standards of ethical considerations. There is no submission fee for publishing in REP. Currently, there are no Author Processing Charges (APCs) required.

Peer Review Policy
REP operates a strictly blind peer review process in which the reviewer’s name is withheld from the author and, the author’s name from the reviewer. The reviewer may at their own discretion opt to reveal their name to the author in their review but our standard policy practice is for both identities to remain concealed. Should an article/manuscript be considered suitable for review, it is reviewed by two reviewers.

Editorial Procedure
All articles are initially reviewed by the Editor. Secondly, the statistical and technical quality of the articles is checked by experts. Only those articles that meet the standards of the journal, and fit within its aims and scope, will be sent to reviewers. Authors of articles can expect a decision normally within three working days as to whether or not their article will be sent to the reviewers or instead be rejected at this stage. Should the decision be to ‘desk reject’ it at this stage, authors can be assured of a supportive response that offers feedback that is constructive and helpful in nature. REP recognizes that authors are keen to get a decision as soon as possible, and reviewers are asked to return their decisions to the Editor within four weeks so that the decision can be sent to authors within that timeframe. At that stage, authors get one of the four standard decisions, that is, ‘accept, as is’, ‘conditional accept, but minor changes are required’, ‘conditional accept, but major changes are required’, or ‘reject’. Finally, the language of accepted articles is checked.

Authorship
All parties who have made a substantive contribution to the article should be listed as authors. Principal authorship, authorship order, and other publication credits should be based on the relative scientific or professional contributions of the individuals involved, regardless of their status. A student is usually listed as principal author on any multiple-authored publication that substantially derives from the student’s dissertation or thesis.

Acknowledgements
All contributors who do not meet the criteria for authorship should be listed in an acknowledgements section. Examples of those who might be acknowledged include a person who provided purely technical help, or a department chair who provided only general support.

Funding
REP requires all authors to acknowledge their funding in a consistent fashion under a separate heading.

Declaration of Conflicting Interests
Editors, acknowledging that there may be conflicting interests between reviewers and other editors, guarantee that the publication process of the manuscripts will be completed in an independent and unbiased manner

Protection of Research Participants
All investigators should ensure that the planning conductand reporting of human research are in accordance with the Helsinki Declaration as revised in 2013 (www.wma.net/policies-post/wma-declaration-of-helsinkiethical-principles-for-medical-research-involving-humansubjects/). All authors should seek approval to conduct research from an independent local, regional, or national review body (e.g., ethics committee, institutional review board). If doubt exists whether the research was conducted in accordance with the Helsinki Declaration, the authors must explain the rationale for their approach and demonstrate that the local, regional, or national review body explicitly approved the doubtful aspects of the study. Approval by a responsible review body does not preclude editors from forming their own judgment whether the conduct of the research was appropriate. Informed consent should be obtained if there is any doubt that anonymity can be maintained. For example, masking the eye region in photographs of patients is inadequate protection of anonymity. If identifying characteristics are de-identified, authors should provide assurance, and editors should so note, that such changes do not distort scientific meaning. The requirement for informed consent should be included in the journal’s instructions for authors. When informed consent has been obtained, it should be indicated in the published article.

Plagiarism
REP take issues of copyright infringement, plagiarism or other breaches of best practice in publication very seriously. We seek to protect the rights of our authors and we always investigate claims of plagiarism or misuse of published articles. Equally, we seek to protect the reputation of the journal against malpractice.
