The U.S. is considered lower in uncertainty avoidance.

The three newer conflict management styles (i.e., emotionally expressive, passive-aggressive, and third-party help) add a more nuanced understanding of conflict. However, one criterion of evaluating theory is succinctness. Could these three be grouped in the original five OR do we need them to be distinct? Explain.
