Differing Conflict Styles Inventory

5 styles of managing conflicts

Withdrawing

Forcing

Smoothing

Compromising

Confronting

Withdrawing (The Turtle) Turtles withdraw into their shells to avoid

conflicts. They give up their personal goals and relationships. They stay away from issues over which the conflict is taking place and from the persons they are in conflict with. Turtles believe it is hopeless to try and resolve a conflict, They prefer to withdraw from

a conflict rather than face it.

Forcing (The Shark)Sharks try to overpower opponents by forcing them to accept their solution to the conflict. Their goals are highly important to them, and relationships are of minor importance. They seek to achieve their goals at all costs. They are not concerned with the needs of others. They do not care if others like or accept them. Sharks assume that conflicts are settled by one person winning and one person losing. They want to be the winner. Winning gives sharks a sense of pride and achievement. Losing gives them a sense of weakness, inadequacy, and failure. They try to win by attacking, overpowering, and intimidating others.

Smoothing (The Teddy Bear)To teddy bears the relationship is of great importance while their own goals are of little importance. They want to be accepted and liked by others. They think that conflict should be avoided in favor of harmony and that people cannot discuss conflicts without damaging relationships. They are afraid that if the conflict continues, someone will get hurt. They give up their goals to preserve the relationship. Teddy bears try to smooth over the conflict out of fear of harming the relationship.

Compromising (The Fox)Foxes are moderately concerned with their own goals and their relationships with others. Foxes seek a compromise: they give up part of their goals and persuade the other person in a conflict to give up part of his/her goals. They seek a conflict solution in which both sides gain something-the middle ground between two extreme positions. They are willing to sacrifice part of their goals and relationships in order to find agreement.

Confronting (The Owl)Owls highly value their own goals and relationships. They view conflicts as problems to be solved and seek a solution that achieves both their own goals and the goals of the other person. Owls see conflicts as a means of improving relationships by reducing tension between two people. They try to begin a discussion that identifies the conflict as a problem. Owls are not satisfied until a solution is found that achieves the goals of both people involved. Also, they are not satisfied until the tensions and negative feelings have been fully resolved.

2) The Psychoanalytic Approach

Sigmund Freud (1856-1939) Background

• Victorian Era• Prim and Proper

• Position

• View on sex


Id, Ego, Superego (three parts of the personality)


ID

Ego

Superego

Freud believed that the 3 parts of the personality overlapped and should not be separated and analyzed separately. He believed one was an outgrowth of the other.


Id: The part of the personality that emerges first. When we are an infant we are almost all Id• Pleasure Principle: the Id is hedonistic.

It seeks pleasure and avoids pain

• Energy Source: the Id is the major source for all psychological energy


Id• Drives and Instincts: basic inborn needs

• Libido: the sex drive

• Aggression:

• Thanatos: the death instinct

• Eros: love for life


Id• Primary Process: the need for

immediate and instant gratification

2) The Psychoanalytic ApproachEgo: the second part of the personality to emerge. It is more logical and practical than the id• Reality Principle: the ego’s awareness of the external world

• Secondary Process: the ability to delay gratification

2) The Psychoanalytic ApproachSuper Ego: The sense of morality• Ego Ideal: the child’s perception of what they think their parents think is morally good• Conscience: the child’s perception of what they think their parents think is morally bad

Defense Mechanisms

See Handout

Defense Mechanisms

Definitions• The Ego’s way of satisfying the id without

overstepping the bounds of the superego

• The Ego’s unconscious attempt to defend against our anxiety

Defense Mechanisms

Four aspects of all defense mechanisms• They are all unconscious

• They all involve self-deception

• They all give us time to get over anxiety producing events in our life

• They are all normal methods of dealing with our anxiety if……

NAME OF DEFENSE MECHANISM

DEFINITION EXAMPLE

RATIONALIZATIONSweet LemonsSour Grapes

We give ourselves false reassurances about an anxiety producing experience in order to reduce our anxiety.What we have we love and think is greatWhat we can’t have we tell ourselves we didn’t want anyway.

REACTION FORMATION

We act in a manner that is completely opposite of how we are truly feeling.

REPRESSION Unconsciously blocking unpleasant or anxiety producing thoughts from consciousness.

*SUPPRESSION When we consciously avoid thinking about something.

NAME OF DEFENSE

MECHANISM

DEFINITION EXAMPLE

PROJECTION The tendency to see in others the undesirable traits and qualities that we possess.

IDENTIFICATION Identifying with a group by taking on some of their behaviors.

DISPLACEMENT Taking our anxiety out on other, safer objects.

SUBLIMATION We find socially acceptable ways to fulfill socially unacceptable urges.

REGRESSION Returning to earlier modes of dealing with anxiety.

FANTASY/DREAMS/ESCAPE

Avoiding anxiety by escaping into a fantasy/dream world

UNDOING Reducing anxiety by making amends for unethical thoughts or deeds.

COMPENSATION We pursue success in one area to reduce our anxiety about our failure in another.

Stages of Development: Freud believed that an individual develops through a series of five Psychosexual Stages. Each of these stages was associated with the part of the body that gave the individual the most pleasure at that time.


Oral Stage (Birth – 18 months)

Pleasure comes from the

mouth—sucking, biting,

chewing


Anal Stage (18 months-3 years old):

Pleasure focuses on bowel

and bladder function;

the child must cope with

demands for control


Fixation: Being stuck in a psychosexual stages.

Fixation can occur because of either too much or too little pleasure in a stage.

2) The Psychoanalytic ApproachAnal Retentive: The anal retentive person is neat, orderly, organized, and overly concerned with CONTROL

This is caused by too strict of toilet training resulting in a lack of pleasure

Anal Expulsive: The anal expulsive person is messy, disorganized,

It is caused by too lax toilet training resulting in too much pleasure


Phallic Stage (3-6 years):

The pleasure zone is

the genitals; the

child must cope with

incestuous feelings


Oedipus Complex:

A pattern described by Freud

in which a boy has sexual

desire for his mother and

wants to eliminate his

father’s competition for

her attention


Latency Stage (6 years old-puberty):

During this stage sexual impulses stay in the background as the child focuses on education, same-sex

peer play, and the

development of social

skills


Genital Stage (Puberty- )

It is during this stages that sexual impulses appear at the conscious level


Three Levels of the Mind


Conscious:

All our thoughts and perceptions of which we are currently aware

2) The Psychoanalytic ApproachPreconscious: A level of mental activity that is not currently conscious but of which we can easily become conscious

Examples: memories, stored knowledge


Unconscious: Region of the mind that is a reservoir of mostly unacceptable thoughts, desires, feelings, and painful memories

Examples: immoral urges, violent motives, shameful experiences, selfish needs, fears, drives, etc.


Freud’s Dream Theory• Why do we dream? We dream to fulfill

unconscious, socially unacceptable urges

• What’s the problem with dreaming openly? If we dreamed openly we would have the same anxiety and embarrassment as we would if we consciously thought about it


How do we disguise our dreams?• Symbols: Something that stands for

something elsehttp://www.makingthemodernworld.org.uk/learning_modules/psychology/02.TU.04/?section=13

• Displacement: When we shift our attention away from the true meaning of the dream onto a seemingly insignificant part

2) The Psychoanalytic ApproachTwo types of dream content• Manifest Content: The part of the dream

we can recall. The plot line of the dream. The surface/literal meaning of the dream

• Latent Content: The true hidden meaning of the dream, which can only be discovered through dream interpretation and by analyzing the symbols and stripping away the displacement


Neo-Freudians: Followers of Freud who kept the main points of his theory but proposed changes. Some noted Neo-Freudians are:• Carl Jung

• Alfred Adler

• Karen Horney

• Erik Erikson


Carl Jung (Analytical Psychology): He agreed with Freud about the importance of early childhood experiences and the role of the unconscious. However, he was less pessimistic than Freud and more spiritual


Personal Unconscious:Like Freud’s unconscious, it is unique to each of us and contains our repressed memories, our drives and instincts, etc.Collective Unconscious: Our inherited, dim memory of our inherited ancestral past

We basically all have the same collective unconscious


Introvert: An introvert is a person whose thoughts and feelings are directed inward. He/she withdraws interest from external world and typically spends little time interacting with others

Extrovert: An extrovert is an outgoing individual who wants to interact with others and stay in touch with events in the outside world. They are out-going, sociable, and excitement-seeking


Alfred Adler (Individual Psychology):• Feelings of Inferiority

• Inferiority Complex


Karen Horney: Objected to the male bias in Freud’s theory• Basic Anxiety:

• Basic Hostility:


Erik Erikson vs. Freud

3) Humanistic Approach

Humanism vs. Psychoanalysis

Optimistic

Non-mechanistic

Here-and-now

3) Humanistic ApproachMaslow’s Humanistic

PsychologyIf you want a healthy psychology, study healthy people. If you want a sick psychology, study sick people


Deficiency Orientation: A preoccupation with a perceived need for

material things.

People coming to perceive life as disappointing and boring


Growth Orientation:

People with a growth

orientation do not focus

on what is missing,

instead they are satisfied

with what they have, are,

and can do
