Personal Conflict Style Analysis

Decent Essays
I somewhat agree with the conflict style I ended up with. The test indicated that my conflict style is avoiding.

I feel as though in some situations, that may be the case, but I try to be more collaborating or compromising in most situations.

I like to find common ground in which we can both agree on.

In other circumstances, I do see avoiding being one of my main conflict styles. In my relationship with my boyfriend, for example, I do tend to be more avoiding. I do this for a number of reasons. One reason is I like to take time to think through a conflict before immediately addressing

But the situation would not even be a conflict if the members of my family did not have different views. That’s fine, but what isn’t is when members of my family pre-judge us and think that when they come around us they will get the you are a horrible sinner and you will go to hell speech which is something that we would not force upon them like that. That is also one of the things we went over in class was that with conflicts you disagree with the ideas and behavior, not the people.…

Some are able just to push conflict to the side, while others are able to fix everything and put everything behind them. At times I’m able to help solve conflicts without there being too much drama.

Conflict among family members is an unavoidable phenomenon nevertheless, “Prospective and concurrent research findings indicate that relationship bonds deteriorate as contentiousness increases; frequent and intense conflict has an adverse impact on the well-being of both parents and adolescents” (Collins & Laursen; 2004 as cited in Laursen, p. 48). Conflict is not necessarily problematic in and of itself. If managed effectively conflict can enhance the quality of relationships.…

    I really hate having disagreements within my marriage, and find that life is far too short to be at a constant disagreement with my husband.
