Option 2 : Approach-Avoidance conflict

Approach-Avoidance conflict can be developed as a result of regression.

  • Approach-avoidance conflicts occur when there is one goal or event that has both positive and negative effects or characteristics that make the goal appealing and unappealing simultaneously.
  • Approach–Avoidance conflict is a situation involving a single goal or option that has both desirable and undesirable aspects or consequences.
  • The closer an individual comes to the goal, the greater the anxiety, but withdrawal from the goal then increases the desire.
  • An example of this might be an individual making a decision about taking a job that possesses both financial gain and prestige, but also contains a great deal of stress and long hours. This involves the individual assessing for themselves whether the negative aspects outweigh the positives.

  • Approach-approach conflict is one of the three major types of conflict described by psychologist Kurt Lewin in 1931. It happens when a person has to choose between two desirable outcomes, such as a choice between finishing college and a full-time job offer.
  • Multiple Approach-Avoidance describes the internal mental debate (sometimes called a conflict) that weighs the pros and cons of different situations that have both good and bad elements.
