Introduction
Conflict is an inherent part of human interaction, occurring whenever there are
incompatible goals, needs, or interests between individuals or groups. As defined in the
study guide, conflict is a process that begins when one party perceives that another party
is interested in something that the first party cares about. It is this perceived incompatibility
that gives rise to conflict, which can manifest in various forms and can have both positive
and negative consequences. Understanding the types and elements of conflict, as well
as the causes, is essential for effective conflict resolution and management.
Types of Conflict
Conflicts can be broadly categorized into four types: intrapersonal, interpersonal,
intragroup, and intergroup conflicts. Each type of conflict has distinct characteristics and
arises from different circumstances.
