Part 1: The Five Conflict Types
Describe each of the five conflict types using paragraph form.
1. Pseudo conflicts: Pseudo conflicts are imaginary conflicts that are a result of faulty assumptions and false dilemmas (Cheesebro, O 'Conner, & Rios, 2010). Many times pseudo conflicts involve two parties with the same views on a subject arguing because they misunderstand or misperceive what the other person is trying to say. …show more content…
4. Value conflicts: Value conflicts usually occur in personal relationships, and arise when someone challenges another’s personal beliefs in which they hold near and dear (Cheesebro, O 'Conner, & Rios, 2010). These conflicts can be very intense and long lasting.
5. Need conflicts: Need conflicts arise when the needs of one individual are put before the needs of another or when the needs of each individual are not specifically stated and understood by both parties (Cheesebro, O 'Conner, & Rios, 2010).

4. Compromisers: Compromisers believe that those involved in the conflict must be ready to give in a little to reach a solution (Cheesebro, O 'Conner, & Rios, 2010). This style is best used to achieve temporary settlements to complex issues and weakness is no one really gets what they originally wanted (Thomas & Kilmann, 2014).
5. Collaborators: Collaborators believe with hard work, both parties can and will get their needs met (Cheesebro, O 'Conner, & Rios, 2010). This style is best used to integrate both sets of concerns and weakness is can take longer to resolve the problem (Thomas & Kilmann,
