Define gunnysacking and describe a conflict scenario that illustrates the concept. What would you advise a person using this strategy to do to achieve a more constructive tone?
What will be an ideal response?
The ideal answer should include:
- Gunnysacking is the process of storing up grievances and then unloading them when an argument arises. Guunysacking does not help resolve conflict and resentment and hostility can escalate.
- Students' example will vary.
- Rather than gunnysacking, a more constructive approach is to focus on the here and now (rather than old issues from the past) and focus conflict only on the person with whom you're fighting (rather than others associated with that person).
