From the Paper:

"When conflict occurs, a relationship can be at risk (Krauss and Morsella, 2000). An interpersonal conflict is a disagreement between people whose goals are incompatible at least for the time being. People have different ways of coping with conflict. Some people avoid conflict while others are quick to tackle the issue openly. This is the case with Sam and me. He is naturally shy and quiet, while I am more outgoing and expressive. For this reason, it is important that we understand and respect each other's methods of conflict resolution.
We have found that the best way of approaching conflict is compromise and collaboration. Compromise involves a willingness to "give and take" with the other person--a skills that Sam possesses and I require some work on. Collaboration is about working with the other person toward a solution that meets the needs of each person."
