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 seen as refusing to engage further in a potentially conflicting interaction, which aligns with a conflict resolution skill of refusing to continue the conflict - inducing conversation.
• 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 attempt to resolve the conflict in a mediating way.
• negotiation: Negotiation is about discussing and reaching an agreement. Walking away is not an act of negotiation as it does not involve discussing terms.
• aggression: Aggression is about hostile or violent behavior. Walking away is a passive act, not aggressive.

Answer:

A. refusal
