What will be an ideal response?


The student should discuss both positive and negative aspects of conflict. Positive aspects of conflict include airing of differences; keeping small issues from manifesting into larger, unmanageable problems; improving the relationship by providing validation; and building self-esteem. Negative conflict reduces self-esteem and alienates partners. Negative conflict styles include repressed anger, passive aggression, scapegoating, and gaslighting. The student should discuss these negative styles in detail.
