摘要：The present paper aims to depict and explain homogenous versus heterogeneous elements in controversial conversation among two South-European groups, Greeks and Romanians. Data was collected from a total of 940 participants. Among both native groups, we found integrated conflict resolution style to be preceded mainly by a mutual favourable identity between conversational actors, followed by individual's collective tendencies. Also, the six specific face-works of positive communal agreement were associated with a higher concern for the relationship between the actors which came from the conversation, than for the promotion of self-identity. Native Greeks proved to be more in favour of indirect strategies than the Romanians
