Everyone knows what a conflict is. Each person faced a situation of aggravation of relations with other people. Social conflicts - a concept that characterizes the situation of sharp corresponding contradictions. With this aggravation of relations, interests and beliefs collide, which is due to various reasons. Consider what are the components, varieties and functions of social conflicts.
The concept and types of social conflicts
Social conflict always contains a moment of collision, i.e. there is some discrepancy, conflict of interests, positions of the parties. Opposite opinions are worn by the subjects of the conflict - the opposing sides. They seek to overcome the contradiction in one way or another, while each side wants to prevent the other from realizing its interests. The concept of conflict in social psychology extends not only to social groups. Depending on the subject, conflicts are distinguished:
- intrapersonal;
- interpersonal;
- intergroup.
Also included in social conflicts is the concept of internal content, relativelywhich contradictions can be rational and emotional. In the first case, the confrontation is based on the sphere of reason. It usually involves the redesigning of social and managerial structures, as well as the liberation from unnecessary forms of cultural interaction. Emotional conflicts are characterized by a strong affective aspect, often by aggression and the transfer of appropriate reactions to subjects. Such a conflict is more difficult to resolve, because it affects the sphere of the personal and can hardly be resolved in rational ways.
Intergroup social conflicts: concept and functions
Social psychology deals mainly with intergroup conflicts, which can be subdivided into:
- socio-economic;
- international;
- ethnic;
- ideological;
- political;
- religious;
- military.
Each conflict has a flow dynamics, in accordance with this, intergroup clashes can occur spontaneously, planned, short-term or long-term, they can be controlled and uncontrollable, provoked or initiative.
You can't look at conflicts only from a negative point of view. Positive functions are to accelerate the process of self-awareness, the assertion of certain values, the discharge of emotional intensity, etc. Social conflict indicates a problem that needs to be solved, which cannot simply be ignored. Thus, the collision contributes to the regulation of socialrelationship.
Ways out of a conflict situation
How can social conflicts be resolved? The concept of a way out of them is characterized by the end of the confrontation by various methods. Highlight:
- rivalry - upholding one's beliefs to the last;
- accommodation - accepting someone else's point of view to the detriment of one's own;
- avoidance - leaving the conflict situation by any means;
- compromise - willingness to make concessions to resolve the situation;
- cooperation - finding a solution that satisfies the interests of all parties to the conflict.
The last way is the most constructive and desirable.
