Essay: For a project, you want to design a model but your partner wants to give a presentation. How would you approach the conflict using different styles?
Student Answer: Avoiding:
I might ignore the conflict and just do my part quietly, letting my partner present. This could lead to dissatisfaction for both of us later.
Accommodating:
I could agree to let my partner do the presentation, even if I really want to design the model. This might help keep the peace, but I wouldn’t feel as involved.
Competing:
I could insist that I want to design the model, and my partner would need to do the presentation. This could create tension but might allow me to get my way.
Compromising:
I could suggest that we divide the project—perhaps I design a small part of the model, and my partner presents the rest. This way, we both get some of what we want, though not everything.
Collaborating:
I would have a conversation with my partner to understand why they want the presentation and explain why I want to design the model. Together, we could find a solution where I help design the model, and my partner gives the presentation. This way, both of us are fully involved, and the project will likely be better for it. |
