This research was conducted to investigate causes of conflicts, types of cOI1}lictrnmanifestations, cOl1}lict resolution strategies, and gender difference in cOl1}lict resolutionrntechniques employed by adolescents. The study was conducted on 350 adolescents (173rnfemales and 177 males) selected jiom Soddo High School using simple random samplingrntechnique. The data were collected using a questionnaire, interview and focus grouprndiscussion. To analyse the collected data, descriptive and inferential statistics werernemployed (such as percentage, mean, standard deviation and t - test). Moreover, the datarnobtained through interview and FGD were qualitatively analysed so as to triangulate thernfindings. The findings indicate that the main sources of conflicts in order of magnitudernwere misbehaviour, relational issues and competition. Regarding the types of conflictrnmanifestations, the results show that verbal aggression is the most common type ofrncOl1}lict followed by minor physical aggression. With respect to cOl1}lict resolutionrnstrategies, the finding shows that most of the participants resolve cOl1}lict throughrnpositive problem solving strategy. On the other hand, FGD showed that the participantsrnresolved cOl1}lict through conflict engagement strategy. In respect to gender difference inrnresolving cOl1}licts, the findings showed no statistically significant difference in all typesrnof cOl1}lict resolution strategies. However, the data obtained through FGD revealed thatrnthere is some difference. Females, more than males were observed to employ conflictrnengagement strategy in resolving disagreements. Based on these findings it is concludedrnthat the main sources of conflicts among adolescents are misbehaviour. Regarding therntypes of cOl1}lict, adolescents use mostly verbal aggression. From the finding it is alsornconcluded that most adolescents resolve conflicts by using positive problem solvingrnstrategy. The recolllmendations which are forwarded include introducing peer -rnmediation programs to schools, incorporating into curriculum lessons on cOI1}lict and onrnits constructive strategies, designing group activities for students to work cooperativelyrnfor mutual success.
