What are the different conflict styles?

The different conflict styles are typically categorized into five main types: avoiding, where individuals sidestep the conflict; accommodating, where one party yields to the other’s needs; competing, which involves asserting one's viewpoint at the expense of others; compromising, where both parties make concessions to reach a resolution; and collaborating, which seeks a win-win solution by addressing the needs of all parties involved. Each style has its own strengths and weaknesses, and the effectiveness of a particular style often depends on the context of the conflict.
