Rationale 1: Competitive conflict occurs when there is a positive outcome for one side and a negative outcome for the opponent.
Rationale 2: Role conflict occurs when people have related responsibilities that may overlap and are ambiguous.
Rationale 3: Perceived conflict occurs when two parties misunderstand each other's position and is often the result of a knowledge deficit. It does not necessarily result in irrational behavior.
Rationale 4: Both parties are engaged in activities to reduce, defeat, or eliminate the opponent, which result in irrational, unproductive behavior. This is disruptive conflict.
