<\/svg> Conflict Styles Assessment<\/strong><\/a><\/h3><\/div>
<\/p>\n

Conflict Styles Assessment is an online assessment assigned to students to help \"Image them understand their individual conflict styles. Conflict style represents our inclination, or natural tendency, when faced with a situation involving conflict. Knowing the five main conflict styles can help students understand their choices for managing conflict. And knowing our own conflict style can help students identify how they might want to approach conflict differently\u2013\u2013how they might better manage it, depending on the nature of their relationship with the person with whom they are experiencing conflict, the amount of time they have to manage the conflict, and the importance of the issue to them. There is a time and a place to use each style and each style has its advantages and limitations. By being aware of their own conflict style and being able to identify the style of the person with whom they are in conflict, students can better pursue a mutually agreeable outcome for all parties involved.<\/p>\n
