Question

walking away from a conversation is an example of which conflict resolution skill?
○ refusal
○ mediation
○ negotiation
○ aggression

Explanation:

To determine the correct answer, we analyze each option:

• Refusal: Walking away from a conversation can be a way to refuse to engage in a conflict, which is a conflict - resolution skill (specifically a way to avoid or disengage from a conflict situation).
• Mediation: Mediation involves a third - party helping to resolve a conflict between two or more parties. Walking away is not mediation as there is no third - party involvement or an attempt to facilitate a resolution between conflicting parties.
• Negotiation: Negotiation is a process where parties communicate to reach a mutually acceptable agreement. Walking away is not negotiation as it does not involve communication to reach an agreement.
• Aggression: Aggression involves hostile or violent behavior to assert oneself. Walking away is a non - aggressive act as it is a form of disengagement rather than hostility.

So, walking away from a conversation is an example of refusal.

Answer:

A. refusal
