text, Communication Matters by Kory Floyd, as “an expressed struggle between at least two interdependent parties who perceive incompatible goals, scarce resources, and interference from the other party in achieving their goals.”

The Basics of Conflict
A conflict is more than a simple difference of opinion. During a conflict one or both people involved may feel threatened.
Conflicts may continue to get worse when not resolved. It is better to deal with the problem than to let it continue and possibly get worse.

The Basics of Conflict
Everyone responds to conflict differently. A person's response to a situation is more about perception than reality. Our perception is made up of our life experiences, values and culture.

The Basics of Conflict
Conflicts often stir up powerful emotions. A person who has a difficult time handling their feelings will probably have a difficult time handling conflict.
Successfully navigating a conflict can increase trust in the relationship. It is important to view conflicts as milestones towards personal and/or relationship growth.

The Science of Getting Along
Research suggests that an individual's personality traits have a great deal to do with how they get along in intimate relationships.

The Science of Getting Along
Individuals who are generally extraverted and unconventional may have more difficulty
maintaining a long-term relationship.
Unconventional people may be more likely to adopt an unconventional approach to emotional and sexual behaviors- this may be troubling to a
partner who desires stability.
Cialdini, R. “Social Psychology.”

The Science of Getting Along
Self-control can be an indicator of relationship success.
In general, people who have poor self-control are less likely to form successful long-term
relationships.
On the other hand, those who have a high degree of self-control may be more accommodating and
thus more successful romantically.
Cialdini, R. “Social Psychology.”

Conflict Styles
• At the end of the day, the key indicator of how a person handles a conflict may come
down to one thing: Is the person more concerned with their own needs or the needs
of the other person involved?
Floyd, K. “Communication Matters”
