Question

Jon dodges his study partner, and when his partner approaches him about their conflict over when to meet next, Jon changes the subject. Jon is operating from which of the following conflict styles?

Answer 1

Answer:

Avoiding

Explanation:

This question is missing its answers. However, we do know there are 5 conflict styles so the answers must be:

Avoiding

Accommodating

Competing

Compromising

Collaborating

The type of conflict where you avoid it, consists in basically pretending there was no conflict at all or even changing the subject when the topic arises. By avoiding the conflict, at least one of the parties seeks to suppress the conflict and pretend it didn't exist.

In this example, Jon dodged his study partner, however when they meet, Jon changes the subject. We can see that Jon is pretending that the conflict didn't exist and he is avoiding it. Therefore, his style would be avoiding.
