The relevance of studying conflict behavior, ways of responding to conflicts and the ability to resolve conflict situations is due to the importance of the communication skills formation and personal self-regulation development. The study was conducted in order to examine the influence of an increased level of rigidity on the choice of behavior styles in conflict. The pronounced rigidity of the person influences the choice of passive strategies for resolving conflict situations. A person with increased indicators of mental rigidity is least likely to use the rivalry style among the active methods of responding to a conflict.
