Question

11 multiple choice 1 point coser distinguished between realistic conflict and nonrealistic conflict. anger is in the category of nonrealistic conflict because: the parties goals are compatible. there is no expressed struggle. there is no meaningful relationship between the parties. there is no interference between the parties.

Explanation:

Lewis Coser's theory of conflict distinguishes between realistic (instrumental) and non - realistic (expressive) conflict. In non - realistic conflict, the goal is not to achieve a specific objective but to express emotions. When anger is part of non - realistic conflict, the parties' goals are not in direct opposition (i.e., they are compatible). The conflict is more about releasing pent - up emotions rather than competing for mutually exclusive goals. For example, two friends might have an argument (non - realistic conflict due to anger) but still have a goal of maintaining their friendship (compatible goals).

Answer:

The parties' goals are compatible.
