Firstly, I would like to define word conflict - it is a state of opposition, disagreement between two or mo
re people or even groups of people. Sometimes conflicts are characterized by psychical violence. Military conflicts between two states may constitute war.
Psychologically, a conflict exists when the reduction of one stimulus involves an increase in another, so that a new adjustment is demanded. Conflicts can exist at a variety of levels of analysis: interpersonal, intrapersonal, emotional, group conflicts and so on. But why do they arise? Many psychologists explain it differently. For example, Sigmund Freud spoke about EGO - it is structure of our mind (psyche) and it is responsible for self-defence and relation with surroundings. So when EGO is very strong and firm it often causes conflicts. According to Carl Gustav Jung, we have such a structure as Persona. Persona is responsible for relation with surroundings, communication. It is like a mask that help to communicate. So if person's Persona is weak, it is difficult to him to communicate peacefully. Persona must be flexible, this depends on particular situations of life. Speaking about one more psychologist Karen Horney it is important to say that she claims that conflicts are just self-defence from showing our weakness. When people don't want to show their weakness they unconsciously begin to conflict, disagree and so on. Psychologists claim that group often find itself in conflict over facts, goals, methods or values. It is critical to identify
the type of conflict it is experiencing in order to solve it. However, conflicts are often linked to emotions that are very difficult to control, so this cause difficulties in dealing with conflicts.
Finally, I can say that conflicts are often difficult to solve, even when both sides want to get maximum benefit. The best way to do this is to find a compromise. However it is not always easy to do. But for this people can ask for a help psychologists.
