Study Notes

Forms of Conflict

Approach-approach conflict: Involves making a choice between two positive, desirable alternatives.
Example: An elderly man in line at Cold Stone struggles to choose a favorite ice cream flavor, causing a delay for others behind him.
Avoidance-avoidance conflict: Centers around selecting between two negative, undesirable alternatives.
Example: A father faced with the choice of punishing his son can either make him wash dishes or take out the trash, both being undesirable options.
Approach-avoidance conflict: Characterized by being both attracted and repelled by the same goal or activity.
Example: A boyfriend feels drawn to meet his girlfriend's father to bond with the family but is simultaneously afraid of how the father will react to him.
Multiple approach-avoidance conflict: Involves attraction and repulsion regarding several options at the same time.
Example: Visiting a car dealership reveals a new car that is appealing but comes with upcoming bills; comparing it to an old car which lacks new costs but offers less allure.
