冲突是矛盾的表现形式之一。当存在着互不相容的思想、目标、动机、行为和事件时就会产生不同形式的冲突。冲突可能发生在一个人的思想中,也可能表现在人际关系中,还可以在不同群体之间,群体与个人之间产生。心理学、组织行为学、社会学以及政治学等都从各自的角度来研究冲突的实质及其解决的最优方式。传统的看法认为冲突是不好的、消极的所以应当防止和避免,但现代理论则持一种两点 Conflict is one of the manifestations of contradiction. When there are incompatible ideas, goals, motivations, behaviors, and events, different forms of conflict arise. Conflicts may occur in a person’s mind, may also be in interpersonal relationships, and may also arise between different groups, groups and individuals. Psychology, organizational behavior, sociology, and political science all study the essence of conflict and the optimal way to solve it from their own perspective. The traditional view is that conflicts are bad and negative and should be prevented and avoided, but modern theory holds two points.
