Development
The field of conflict management, conflict resolution, or conflict transformation (there is a lack of consensus in naming convention) has since the 1970s sought to teach people to be more conscious of their conflict management style. The premise behind this is that greater awareness of their style by individuals enables them to make better choices of how to respond. Someone who knows they have a tendency to avoid conflict, for example, might in some circumstances choose a different and perhaps more appropriate response.
