Assignment:
In a one-page reflection, discuss the following:
1. What conflict script did you learn in your family or primary group? If you recall our early reading on scripts, you will remember that scripts relate to our identity. They are our "guides for living."
- Think back to your childhood and adolescence and try to remember the guides or rules for conflict that your family/others modeled implicitly and explicitly. For example, did people openly disagree?
- What other factors contribute to your approach or feelings toward conflict? Are there any cultural, gendered, or age-appropriate factors?
2. How do you view conflict now?
- What is your current conflict management strategy that you lean on the most? For example, do you tend to be dominating, collaborating, etc? Explain.
- When you are engaged in conflict, do you tend to have a win-win, win-lose, or lose-lose outcome? How come? Is it related to your conflict management strategy? Give examples.
3. Do you respond to conflict differently based on the other person? Do you respond to conflict differently in various situations (work, school, friends, romantic partner, or family)? Why do you do that?
4. In what areas do you need to improve your conflict management? Why do you need to improve in those areas? Give specific examples. Do you need to improve in different areas depending on the person you are in conflict with? Provide a very specific action plan, or list of steps you will take, to improve upon your conflict management style in order to have healthy conflict in future relationships.
*Use and explain concepts from your reading, where appropriate.
