Identify and define two types of conflicts. Give one example for each conflict.

On Jun 10, 2024


The two types of conflicts are interpersonal conflict and intrapersonal conflict.

Interpersonal conflict occurs between two or more individuals and involves a disagreement or clash of interests. An example of interpersonal conflict is when two coworkers have different ideas about how to approach a project and cannot come to a compromise.

Intrapersonal conflict, on the other hand, occurs within an individual and involves a struggle with conflicting thoughts, emotions, or values. An example of intrapersonal conflict is when a person is torn between pursuing a career they are passionate about and staying in a stable but unfulfilling job for financial security.
