Key Concepts

Avoidance-Escape Conflict

This conflict involves a situation where an individual is motivated to avoid or escape from a particular negative circumstance or behavior. The stress associated with this type of conflict stems from the desire to evade undesirable aspects of a situation, often leading to continued tension and anxiety.

Approach-Avoidance Conflict

Here, a single option is perceived to have both appealing and unappealing features. The simultaneous attraction and repulsion toward the same choice lead to internal conflict, ambivalence, and increased stress due to the difficulty in making a decision.

Approach-Approach Conflict

A type of decision-making dilemma in which an individual must choose between two attractive options. The conflict involves positive outcomes on both sides, and because both options are desirable, it tends to generate relatively low levels of stress and anxiety compared to conflicts involving negative outcomes.

Avoidance-Avoidance Conflict

This conflict occurs when a person faces two unattractive alternatives, each of which has negative aspects. The stress in this scenario is higher because the decision involves choosing the lesser of two evils, resulting in significant discomfort and anxiety.
