The phenomenon of conflict is probably known to everyone. From time to time everyone has various disagreements. Psychologists define conflict to be a state of opposition, disagreement or incompability between two or more people or groups of people, which is sometimes characterized by physical violence.
Conflicts mostly refer to the existence of the clash, which can be interests, values, actions or directions. Psychologically, a conflict appears when one motivating stimulus reduces and another increases, so that a new adjustment is demanded.
There are many types of conflict. The most common conflicts are emotional, interpersonal, group, organizational, military, workplace and others. Although conflicts are different, people tend to apply these conflict solving methods:
- Avoidance: one ignores or refuses to aknowlegde the existence of conflict.
- Accommodation: one side wants and does everything to satisfy another side needs.
- Competition: both sides want to win without negotiation.
- Compromise: both sides give up part of what they wanted or needed to settle the problem.
- Collaboration: both sides work together to find an agreeable solution to the problem. This is the best conflict solving method.
Conflicts affect people's lives hugely. Especially relationships between collegues, family members and friends. Moreover it can bring unpleasant feelings such as sadness, self-doubt or arrogance. Sometimes people can feel mental and physical pain of unsolved conflicts.
Nevertheless, conflicts have some benefits too. During conflicts people can learn how to give up something for others, how to cooperate with others and control themselves. Also after conflicts peolpe understand some issues about themselves.
All in all, conflicts are unavoidable because people have very different interests, needs and values. It is very important to use right conflict solving methods so that everyone would be satisfied.
