Identify a specific relational partner (person who you are currently involved in a close relationship with such as significant other, mother, father, friend, son, daughter) and who you have recently had a significant conflict that you feel as though you could have improved the way you handled the conflict. Choose a conflict different from what you wrote about in previous assignments.Thoroughly answer each of the following questions:

1. Complete the conflict styles assessment located in this week's module.
   
   
   1. What conflict style did the assessment reveal as your conflict management style?
   
   
   2. Do you agree with the results? Explain.
   
   
   3. Are there any changes you would like to make to the way you tend to manage conflict? Explain.
   
   
   
   


2. Think of an exchange or series of exchanges that you have had (can be with family member, significant other, friend, co-worker etc.) in which you experienced conflict. Describe the conflict you experienced by applying your text's definition of an interpersonal conflict. To do this you will explain (1) the interaction that occurred that describes how the conflict was expressed (e.g. via heated argument, yelling, crying, avoidance, silent treatment); (2) an explanation of how you and the person you experienced the conflict with are interdependent and (3) what the perceived incompatible goals of you and this person were in this scenario.
   


3. Reflect on your approach to engaging in this specific conflict. Did you utilize behaviors and communication consistent with the conflict style revealed in the conflict management assessment (see question1)? If so, explain your behavior/communication and how it is consistent with your identified style. If not, explain what style you think you took on in this scenario and explain your behavior that demonstrates the style.


4. What style of conflict management did your relational partner demonstrate in this situation? Explain the behavior/communication they engaged in that demonstrates this style.


5. Identify three conflict management skills from this week's materials that you think you could have drawn from to more effectively manage this conflict. For each skill, explain the skill and then specifically discuss how it would have allowed for more effective conflict management in this specific scenario.
