<span>Conflict is happens when either one of the
individuals wants to achieve the same goal. There are typically three types of conflict:
intrapersonal conflict, interpersonal and unconscious conflict. Under
Intrapersonal are Approach-approach conflict, Avoidance-avoidance conflict and Approach-avoidance
conflict as described in your question. This will further the interpersonal
conflict because in this, it comprises the actual ‘facing’ of the problems
(avoidance), lessens equality among members (competition) and choosing the
lesser evil (compromising decisions). This will create further
misunderstandings if it will not be explained well thoroughly among
individuals.</span>
These strategies are all ineffective when dealing with interpersonal conflict. Avoiding it will not solve the conflict. In fact, it can make it grow even larger. Competing with one another is also a strategy that might damage your attempts at reconciliation. Finally, compromising your viewpoint, attitudes and behaviour is ineffective because it takes away the opportunity of exchanging ideas and points of view.
