The conflict index (IC f ) is a value that measures the intensity of the motor conflict, taking into account its origin (generating agent) and the derived reaction (conflictive response). The result of the sum of the score in both parts ranges from 2 points (1 in origin + 1 in reaction) to 6 points (3 in origin + 3 in reaction). Based on this score, 3 values were established in the IC f : a) Low IC f = 2 to 3 points; b) Middle IC f = 4 points; and c) High IC f = 5-6 points ( Sáez de Ocáriz & Lavega, 2013 ).

Abstract
Traditional games offer an exceptional relational setting to educate pupils' interpersonal relationships and offer equal opportunities to both genders. The aim of the study was to determine the predictive capacity of the variables associated with the motor conflict process (intensity, attitude, and intervention) and the emotional meaning of the conflicts experienced by the male and female genders. A total of 330 students (172 girls, 52.1%; and 158 boys, 47.9%) from secondary education participated. An intervention based on the GIAM pedagogical model was carried out through the practice of four traditional competitive cooperation-opposition games (marro, dodgeball, stealing stones, and pass the treasure). The findings show that girls and boys experience conflict in a similar way when they are part of a low conflict group. The first predictor of girls' conflict is the type of attitude they adopt in conflict management. However, boys' conflicts are mainly predicted by the emotional meaning and then by the attitude towards the conflict.
