  48. Unproductive Conflict Patterns

  49. Unproductive Conflict Patterns • Early stages • The foundation for destructive conflict is established by communication that fails to confirm individuals. • Cross-complaining occurs when one person’s complaint is met by a counter-complaint. • Negative climates tend to build on themselves.

  50. Unproductive Conflict Patterns • Middle stages • Once a negative climate has been set, it is stoked by other unconstructive communication. • Kitchensinking occurs when everything except the kitchen sink is thrown into the argument. • Focusing on specific issues resolves conflicts constructively. • Marked by frequent interruptions that disrupt the flow of talk
