Answer to Question 1

ANS: A
Intrapersonal conflict occurs within a person when confronted with the need to think or act in a way that seems at odds with that person's sense of self. Questions often arise that create a conflict over priorities, ethical standards, and values. Some issues present a conflict over comfortably maintaining the status quo and taking risks to confront people when needed, which can lead to interpersonal conflict.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: B
Conflict involves disagreement in values or beliefs within oneself or between people that causes harm or has the potential to cause harm. Folger, Poole, and Stutman (2012) add that conflict results from the interaction of interdependent people who perceive incompatibility and the potential for interference.
