Competition (low coop, high assertiveness) Presumptive attribution, prescription– Advantage - increased creativity and enthusiasm– Disadvantage - violence, driving opponent underground
Compromise (moderate coop and assert)Reaching for a middle ground
– Advantage - often actually resolves the conflict– Disadvantage - may actually be bad policy or decision by not staying true to either set of goals
Accommodation (High coop, Low assert.) Appeasement, smoothing over – Advantage - often quickly leads to solution– Disadvantage - may, in the long run, be detrimental, denies the legitimacy of the claims of one of the participants
Collaboration (High coop, High assert.)–Use description, qualification, accept responsibility, initiating problem solving– Advantage - Achieves trusting relationships– Disadvantage - difficult and many are not trained to do it very well
