Question: 73

13. Which type of conflict is associated with the LEAST amount of stress?

  • A. Approach–approach conflict
  • B. Avoidance–avoidance conflict
  • C. Approach–avoidance conflict
  • D. Avoidance–escape conflict

Correct Answer: A

Explanation:

Approach–approach conflict is one in which both results are good choices. While one must be chosen, neither choice results in a negative outcome: for example, choosing between two desserts. Avoidance–escape conflict, choice (D), is not a recognized form of conflict; these two terms are related to types of negative reinforcers.
