Question

Karah, a teenager, rolls her eyes and walks away when her mother orders her to clean her room. Karah and her mother are using one of the least satisfying approaches to conflict management:1. True2. False

Answer 1

Answer: TRUE

Explanation:

Karah and her mother are using the DEMAND-WITHDRAW PATTERN of conflict management.

This pattern works like this: one partner in the situation is considered the DEMANDER (Karah's mother) who is seeking change or a resolution to an issue. The other partner is the WITHDRAWER (Karah) who is trying to end a discussion or avoid it.

It is worthy of note that this pattern is amongst the least satisfying approaches to conflict management.

Answer 2

Answer:

True

Explanation:

This approach is the Demand-withdraw pattern and it is considered the least satisfying approach, it happens in one of two patterns between marital partners, in which one partner will be the demander, who will be in quest for change, he/she will initiate discussion, or the resolution of an issue, while the other spouse will be the withdrawer, seeking to end or stay away from any sort of discussion on the issue.
