Conflict resolution, aggressiveness and sociodemographic factors in victims of the Colombian armed conflict in the Department of Magdalena

In Colombia, the post-agreement with the FARC demands collective efforts towards peace building that involves all citizens and gives an active role to the victims of the internal armed conflict. The aim of this study was to determine the association between conflict resolution skills, aggressiveness and some sociodemographic factors in victims residing in the Department of Magdalena. A cross-sectional design was implemented and 51 people participated. The instruments used were the Conflict Resolution Scale, the Inventory of Aggressive Situations and Behaviors and a sociodemographic data questionnaire. Multiple significant associations were found between the variables involved, the consequences of which were discussed based on the points of coherence and discrepancy regarding approaches from several fields.
