The patterns I identify in my conflict are ones in which how I respond to conflict. When we took the survey I got a 3 way tie in accommodating, compromising and collaborating integrating. I thought that this was really interesting because I often pride myself in being able to figure out the best way to deal with different conflicts and often times depending on who is in the conflict and what I know about both parties. I think that it is a really a good quality being able to adapt how you deal with conflict and not being stuck in one way or another, I feel like it provides you with many more chances to have a favorable outcome.
Journal 7:
I’m very much as person who when a conflict occurs I would rather get it out of the way and dealt with and moved on rather than just letting it sit there. So often times I don’t let my conflicts escalate to that degree and if they do escalate then I try and makes sure the de-escalation occurs quickly after the escalation process. I can often times contribute to the escalation because if I become hot headed or feel like I am not being heard in the conflict this can often times rub me the wrong way. I don’t mind conflict very much, I find it a healthy part of my relationships but the only problem with that is if I am going to engage in conflict regardless if I am right or incorrect I want to be heard. If I feel as if I am not being heard that I become frustrated and that can easily escalate the conflict. Sometimes conflict can be fun, and I think if it De-escalates quickly it can strengthen and lead to a healthier relationship.
