Abstract
This study explores factors influencing people's willingness to admit wrongness and apologize, with match/mismatched gender and relationship closeness. Previous research showed how gender roles, self-presentation, and communication styles impact these behaviors. I hypothesize that men are less likely to admit wrongness and apologize, and closer relationships are more likely.
