This study involved a population of young Mexican students (N ϭ 526, ages nine to seventeen). It used U.S. instruments to evaluate these students' attitudes about conflict, communication skills, conflict styles, and conflict management message styles in a Hispanic school environment in order to explore the degree of applicability of these instruments to young Spanish-speaking students and to analyze the relations between these constructs. A model in which attitudes about conflict and communication skills predict the conflict management messages was shown to be significant after the corresponding structural analysis.T he relation between attitudes and behavior has been debated for decades (Reardon, 1989;Laca, 2005). Present-day studies indicate that attitudes influence behavior and can predict it to some degree, even though this influence is not simple and is affected by various moderators. "There are many of these moderators, the majority of which seem to be related to aspects of the situation, aspects of the attitudes themselves and aspects of the individual" (Baron and Byrne, 2002, p. 13). Applying to conflict the definition of attitude stated by Rubin, Pruitt, and Kim (1994, p. 252)-"a positive or negative feeling toward a person or object"-our view coincides with that of Mayer (2000) in that this positive or negative feeling, the way in which the conflict is seen, will largely determine how it is dealt with. By being aware of the positive or negative feelings of young people, and their attitudes toward conflict, we have a first indication of their behavior in real situations of conflict. From this perspective, we
