ACS 103 Journal 2 What does your score suggest about how you deal with conflict and how you manage your own and others’ power interpersonally? Your eBook discusses the best way to manage self-enhancing thoughts when experiencing conflict. Self-enhancing thoughts occur when individuals selectively remember information that supports their viewpoints, causing them to regard their own communication more positively than their partners’, and to blame partners for failure to resolve the conflict. What is the most important thing you can do to improve your conflict management skills? What is the best way to manage self-enhancing thoughts? (There's a checklist.) Self-Quiz: How Do You Approach Conflict? Quiz Results Number of “Yes” answers for Avoidance: 1 Number of “Yes” answers for Accommodation: 1 Number of “Yes” answers for Competition: 4 Number of “Yes” answers for Reactivity: 0 Number of “Yes” answers for Collaboration: 3 The category with the most “Yes” answers indicates how you primarily manage conflict. If you recorded an equally high number of “Yes” answers on two or more different approaches, you use more than one approach. Conflict among peers can bring the worst out of people, but also can bring the best out of people. I am personally, a very strong-willed person who has passion in what I discuss and bring to the table. My scores in this quiz indicate that I am willing to adhere to all sides of the story and to truly understand each person’s views and why they view a particular situation in that instance. Conflict is something I try my best to not be involved in, but when the time comes when disagreements arise, I do put my foot down and make sure my viewpoint is heard and acknowledged. If I were to happen to be wrong in the conflict, I personally think I would try my best to understand why and what I can do to accommodate both sides of the conflict, and if a sacrifice would have to be made on my part, I would do it. One of the most important things I could do to improve my conflict management skills is to be more patient, allow certain values that may not adhere to my beliefs to be heard. Self-enhancing thoughts dominate conflict encounters stifling the likelihood of the collaboration. The most important thing to improve this is to routinely practice self-reflection. A checklist where I can see if I am being uncooperative or making a faulty attribution, if my partner is solely to blame or have I also contributed to this matter, and if the conflict is due to ongoing differences or just happen to be caused by everyday factors such as stress or fatigue.
