Conflict Reflection Paper

Conflict Reflection Paper

  1. Using the text, Have a Nice Conflict, analyze a personal conflict you have experienced in the last 12‐18 months. Include the following in your analysis:

Introduction

 Answer: What is conflict? What is relationship awareness theory?

 Describe your conflict.

Analyze the conflict using the core five principles of anticipate, prevent, identify, manage and resolve (as outlined in the textbook).

Include the following observations as you write your paper:

 SDI & Motivational Values:

o What motivational value systems were you operating with?

o What about the other person/party – what was their motivational value system?

o What do you think were the intentions of the other person/party? Why does this matter?

 How did you or the other person shift in MVS as the three stages of conflict escalated or could have escalated?

 Based on what you have learned in the book, classroom lectures, activities, and your own SDI assessments, how could this conflict have been prevented, if at all?

 What can you do now to resolve this conflict (if it is has not already been resolved) or how did the conflict end?

Use APA 6th edition style including 12pt font, Times New Roman, double‐spaced, 1‐inch margins, page numbers. Each paper will have 6‐8 references from the original textbook (at least 4) and other course material or approved academic resources (at least 2).
