'People in collectivist societies tend to value more direct communication and active conflict resolution styles in order to maintain the group' is a TRUE assertion.

Explanation:

In collectivist societies, the benefits gained collectively gained by the society are shared amongst its members. If a certain sect of such a society is facing any kind of problem, their contribution towards the well-being of the society is disturbed. This in turn affects the entire society. Hence, to avoid any such problems and to ensure smooth functioning of the society, the members of the society tend to value direct communication and use methods of active conflict resolution for quick settlements of issues.
