Methods of Resolving Conflict

Avoidance: One or both parties ignore the conflict instead of addressing it. Useful when the issue
is minor or emotions are high, but not effective for long-term solutions.

Accommodation (Smoothing): One party gives in to the other to maintain harmony. Good when
the relationship is more important than the issue, but may lead to resentment if overused.

Competition (Forcing): One party tries to win the conflict at the other’s expense. Useful in urgent
situations but can damage relationships.

Compromise: Both parties give up something to reach a middle ground. Fair and practical, but may
not fully satisfy either side.

Collaboration: Both parties work together to find a solution that satisfies everyone. Best for
long-term resolution but requires time and trust.

Negotiation: A structured discussion where parties try to reach an agreement. Common in


business or formal settings.

Mediation: A neutral third party helps both sides reach a solution. Useful when communication has
broken down.

Arbitration: A third party listens to both sides and makes a binding decision. Often used in legal or
workplace disputes.
