when they entered the CM program during their junior year at CWUand then compared their respective conflict management styles across gender. The researchersused this analysis to detect differences in the male and female conflict management styles whileenrolled in CWU’s four-year, campus based, American Council for Construction Education(ACCE) accredited CM program. The results of the TKI were evaluated through a series ofstatistical analyses. TKI paper-based questionnaires were distributed to 50 junior-level males and21 junior-level females over a five-year period from the winter of 2014 to the spring of 2019.The TKI scores were tallied and documented in order to determine each student’s conflictmanagement style during their junior year and to
