Applying the Stages of Constructive Conflict Management

In Chapter 1 of the text, Managing Conflict Through Communication,

the five stages in a constructive conflict process are explained. Write

a paper in which you identify a conflict that you or someone you know

has had and has already been resolved. Identify and describe the five

stages of a constructive conflict process. Then, apply each of the five

stages of a constructive conflict process to your example. Your paper

should clearly identify each stage and provide details or examples for

each stage. You can review Examples 1 and 2 on pages 15-16 of the text

for ideas on how to organize this assignment.

The paper must be one to two pages in length (excluding title and

reference pages) and formatted according to APA style. You must use at

least two scholarly resources (at least one of which can be found in the

Ashford Online Library) other than the textbook to support your claims

and sub claims. Cite your resources in text and on the reference page.
