Morgan and Lauren are arguing about how to discipline their son who was just suspended from school. Although tensions are high, they both agree on the importance of correcting their son's behavior, and promise to work together to find a solution. Which type of conflict is demonstrated here?

A. instrumental conflict

B. active conflict

C. constructive conflict

D. expressive conflict

Answer:

The type of conflict demonstrated here is C. constructive conflict.

Explanation:

A conflict can be seen as a situation in which two or more forces oppose one another, where there is tension, friction, or disagreement to some extent. Yet, we can think of a conflict as being constructive when the parties involved are more willing to find a common solution to the problem than they are to prove themselves right and the other wrong. A constructive conflict is, therefore, characterized by the shared goal of truly coming up with a way to fix whatever problem is being faced, leaving differences and egos aside in order to do it.
