NOTE

The Path from Disagreement to Conflict

The progression from disagreement to conflict often occurs when individuals attribute disagreements to personal faults in the other person, such as lack of intelligence, bias, or nefarious motives. This negative attribution leads to blaming the other person and stirring up negative emotions associated with conflict. This cycle of negative feelings and expressions between individuals is known as a conflict spiral. To prevent this escalation, it is crucial to differentiate between disagreements, which can be productive, and conflicts, which are unpleasant. By recognizing this difference and aiming to stay within the realm of disagreement, individuals can navigate conflicts more effectively.
