According to research, individuals who use constructive conflict resolution methods in interpersonal relationships have higher psychological well-being. A fundamental belief is crucial in designing an effective conflict resolution model. Drawing a conflict resolution model in interpersonal relationships is effective when based on Islamic foundations. This research aimed to identify conflict resolution foundations using two methods of linguistic semantics and qualitative content analysis. By forming the semantic field of conflict in interpersonal relationships, 23 primary concepts were identified. In the process of collecting documents, narratives were examined using purposive sampling and the saturation principle. Data were screened using two criteria of weak books and lack of conceptual relevance. The final analysis of narratives was performed using the qualitative content analysis method of Siah and Shannon (2005) in three stages of open, axial, and selective coding. The research findings indicate that it is essential to base the construction of a conflict resolution model on Islamic thought on internal foundations (possibility of conflict occurrence and resolution, conflicting tendencies, love of essence, failure to meet all needs, self-control, rightness, and the will of God) and external foundations (preserving interpersonal cohesion, individual differences, desirability of peace, and eschatology).

While human social well-being relies on interpersonal relationships, high levels of interpersonal conflict lead to reduced commitment, increased communication problems, decreased job satisfaction, and increased stress. A proper understanding of the deep concepts applied in Islamic sources necessitates familiarity with terminologies. This research aims to conceptually clarify interpersonal conflict in Islamic sources (Quran and Hadith). To achieve this, a qualitative content analysis method was employed along with linguistic semantics to elucidate the conceptual framework. In assessing the congruence of these concepts, a method of content validity was used. In the first section, by establishing the semantic field of conflict in interpersonal relationships, 30 concepts were identified, out of which 23 were validated through reliability assessment, while 7 concepts (including competition, division, opposition, dispute, criticism, tension, and conflict) were excluded. The findings indicate that concepts indicative of conflict in interpersonal relationships fall into three categories: cognitive concepts (including competition, disagreement of opinions, division, dissent, disagreement); emotional concepts (including aversion, animosity, division, conflict); and behavioral concepts (including verbal conflict, debate, quarrel, contradiction, enmity, debate, contention); and non-verbal concepts (including confrontation, clash, rivalry, opposition, conflict, hostility, contention, avoidance).

Narcissistic personality disorder is always associated with a permanent disorder in interpersonal functioning, however, limited studies have addressed the phenomenological nature of interpersonal relationships in these people. Since vulnerable narcissistic personality disorder still does not have a place in the diagnostic classification of mental disorders after several decades, addressing the nature of interpersonal relationships in these people can help to better understand this disorder and to facilitate the process of diagnosis and treatment. The present study is a qualitative analysis of the narratives of 6 vulnerable narcissistic participants who participated in a semi-structured interview and described their relationships with others as they experience them. The implemented text of the interviews was analyzed according to the principles of interpretive phenomenological analysis and 11 main themes:"lack of sociability/fragile interpersonal relationships/interpersonal passivity/self-censorship due to fear of others' judgment/negative self-concept/approval and attention-seeking/fluctuation between anger towards self and others/defense mechanisms/power-seeking personality/definition of intimacy and interpersonal sensitivity" were extracted. In general, the findings of the current research show that despite the fact that these people need social relationships to satisfy their narcissistic needs,but their defense mechanisms prevent them from social relationships. Therefore, having or not having relationships is always a point of conflict for these people.
