An Episodic Model of Conflict
Interpersonal conflict often occurs in iterative, cyclical stages known as “episodes”. An episodic model is shown in Figure 8.1. At times, issues underlying a conflict are latent and do not present any manifest problems for the parties. Then something triggers the conflict and brings it into the open. For example, a violent disagreement or frank confrontation can unleash conflictual behavior. Because of the negative consequences of that behavior, the unresolved disagreement usually becomes latent again. And again, something triggers the conflict, making it overt, and so the cycle continues with the next conflict episode.
