Document Summary
A struggle that occurs when individuals, interdependent with others, perceive that those others are interfering with their goal attainment. (page 211) They want different outcomes, but need to settle/agree on the same outcome. Not all can access the common goal. One group/individual is often dissatisfied with the resolution of the conflict. Consistency in presentation of info, and info itself. Try to ignore discrepancy between their goals and goals of others. Turn away from conflict - don"t deal with it. Temporary avoidance - if situation is very serious, or there is not enough time to talk it through to a resolution. Set aside own needs to ensure the needs of others are met - they give in. Can be beneficial if issue is relatively unimportant. Give up some of their ideas related to an issue and insist that others do the same. Keep some ideas and go along with some of others.
