Abstract

This study aimed to develop a conflict resolution model for interpersonal relationships based on Islamic sources using a mixed-methods approach (qualitative and quantitative). The textual community of the research included all Quranic and Hadith documents from grade "A" and "B" books available in the Jami' al-Hadith software. The data were filtered in two stages based on the weakness of the books and the lack of conceptual relevance. In the qualitative part of the study, Islamic sources were analyzed using content analysis and semantic analysis methods. From 63,648 propositions, 8,134 were selected based on the principle of saturation and data filtering (weakness of the books and lack of conceptual relevance). Through the analysis of these propositions, 512 open codes, 80 axial codes, and 23 selective codes were identified. In the quantitative part, using the Delphi method, the degree of correspondence between selective and axial codes with open codes and the findings, as well as the relevance of concepts at three levels, were confirmed by experts (CVI=0.90). The comparison among core categories and their reference to documents indicated that conflict resolution in interpersonal relationships consists of four components. The validity of the conflict resolution model was also evaluated as favorable by experts (CVI=1). The research findings showed that the conflict resolution model comprises four levels: foundations, facilitators, strategies, and outcomes, with the hypothetical relationships among them examined. The resulting model can be translated into educational and psychological protocols.
