Answer to Question 1
Collectivist cultures see people as deeply embedded in social situations. As a result, collectivists are more likely to seek to preserve relationships and promote the good of the group as a whole than individualists. To preserve peaceful relationships, collectivists will avoid direct expression of conflicts, preferring to use more indirect methods for resolving differences of opinion. Compromising and avoiding are the most preferred methods of conflict management in China.
