Abstract

Our poster presents ConflictLens, a three-stage simulation system powered by large language models (LLMs) and grounded in psychological theory, designed to help users reflect on and practice conflict resolution in romantic relationships. Users can upload real conflict scenarios to receive evaluation of behavioral patterns, reflect on conflicts by annotating their negative behaviors, and practice different conflict resolution strategies in AI-simulated duologues. Initial evaluation by three domain experts suggests that ConflictLens offers a realistic experience and effectively supports self-guided reflection and communication practice in romantic relationships.
