Aggressive Mechanisms Defense Mechanisms Aggressive Mechanisms Fixation – an individual keeps up a dysfunctional behavior that obviously will not solve the conflict Displacement – an individual directs his or her anger toward someone who is not the source of the conflict Negativism – a person responds with pessimism to any attempt at solving a problem 12

Compromise Mechanisms Defense Mechanisms Compromise Mechanisms Compensation - an individual attempts to make up for a negative situation by devoting himself/herself to another pursuit with increased vigor Identification - an individual patterns his or her behavior after another’s Rationalization - a compromise mechanism characterized by trying to justify one’s behavior by constructing bogus reasons for it 12

Withdrawal Mechanisms Defense Mechanisms Withdrawal Mechanisms Flight/Withdrawal - entails physically escaping a conflict (flight) or psychologically escaping (withdrawal) Conversion - emotional conflicts are expressed in physical symptoms Fantasy - provides an escape from a conflict through daydreaming 13

Effective Techniques for Dealing with Conflict Subordinate Goals Confronting & Negotiating Expanding Resources Conflict Changing Structure Changing Personnel 20

Approaches to Negotiation Distributive Bargaining – the goals of the parties are in conflict, and each party seeks to maximize its resources

Approaches to Negotiation Integrative Negotiation – focuses on the merits of the issues and seeks a win-win solution

Conflict Management Styles Avoiding - deliberate decision to take no action on a conflict or to stay out of a conflict Accommodating - concern that the other party’s goals be met but relatively unconcerned with getting own way Competing - satisfying own interests; willing to do so at other party’s expense 21

Conflict Management Styles Compromising - each party gives up something to reach a solution Collaborating - arriving at a solution agreeable to all through open & thorough discussion 21

Conflict Management Styles Assertive Competing Collaborating Assertiveness (Desire to satisfy one’s own concerns) Compromising Avoiding Unassertive Accommodating Uncooperative Cooperative SOURCE: K.
