Study Notes
Conflict Management
- Conflict is a disagreement where involved parties perceive a threat to their needs, interests, or concerns.
- This definition highlights key elements: disagreement among parties, and a perceived threat.
- Disagreements often stem from differences in the positions of the conflicting parties.
- Understanding the true areas of disagreement helps in resolving the actual issues and addressing the needs of the parties involved-- leading to effective conflict management.
Parties Involved
- Conflicts often involve people who are part of a social system (e.g. a work team, family or company).
- These individuals may be influenced to take part in the conflict, even if they wouldn't identify with it in a personal sense.
- Recognizing the involvement of parties from a social system perspective can assist in identifying the influences and motives involved in a conflict.
Perceived Threat
- People frequently react to perceived threats rather than actual threats.
- People's actions, feelings, and the evolving sense of the threat are modified by this perceived threat.
- Recognizing this difference is crucial for constructive conflict resolution.
- Understanding the true threat, developing strategies to manage the issue, and reaching an agreement to resolve the perceived threats are constructive steps toward positive resolution.
- It is important to understand conflict from the perspective of the people involved to effectively address the conflict.
Conflict Resolution Skills
- Conflict resolution depends on 4 key skills:
- Quickly relieving stress, managing emotions, improving nonverbal communication, and using humor to address challenges.
- Emotional awareness is key for understanding oneself and others.
- Ignoring or suppressing emotions can lead to communication breakdowns and inability to resolve disagreements.
- Connecting to feelings helps to manage conflicts effectively.
- Conflict resolution is an essential skill to resolving disagreements and maintaining healthy relationships.
- Identifying and addressing the emotional aspects of conflict is critical for success.
Conflict Resolution Strategies
-
The Thomas-Kilmann model highlights 5 conflict resolution strategies:
- Competing (assertive & uncooperative): satisfying one's needs at the other's expense.
- Accommodating (unassertive & cooperative): satisfying another's needs at the expense of one's own.
- Avoiding (unassertive & uncooperative): neither party's needs are satisfied.
- Collaborating (assertive & cooperative): finding a solution that satisfies both parties' needs.
- Compromising (intermediate assertiveness and cooperativeness): finding a mutually acceptable solution by making concessions.
-
Effective conflict resolution involves understanding the different conflict styles and choosing the most appropriate one for the situation.
-
Learning these techniques can lead to successful relationships and outcomes.
-
Knowing when to forgive is crucial for conflict resolution.
-
Choosing your battles is important in conflict resolution; not all issues are worth your time and energy.
-
Setting boundaries is a crucial step. Everyone should acknowledge the need for boundaries and confidentiality. Conflict resolution also involves managing emotional reactions and outbursts from conflicting parties, thus avoiding further escalation or hurt feelings.
