Week 4 Reading Review #2


In an interpersonal conflict I could use fractionation in a timely manner.  Fractionation is a way of breaking down the issue into small pieces. Doing that may take some time and if I was dealing with people I did not know people may not have the patience for me to conduct such an analyses.  Framing is another form of solving problems that is easy to use in interpersonal conflict. Asking friendly questions is part framing and being friendly with people you know is easy because you are more aware of their thoughts and views, that allow you to adjust your questioning. On the other side, reframing is asking questions in a more negative way and if you  know the other person you are able to make your questions “sting” more because you know what that other person does not like. Common ground is all about sharing attitudes, values, behaviors, expectations and goals and when you know someone you have a better chance of finding things to share.
