Sinclair College Interpersonal Conflict Discussion
How we behave in an interpersonal conflict can sometimes contribute to the outcome of that conflict. Your textbook broaches the topic of assertive, passive and passive aggressive behaviors.
After reading how the authors discuss these behaviors, watch the following video clip of Jimmy Kimmel helping us see how passive aggressive texts might look [3:10].
Review your own text messages on your phone and provide an example of text messages that you have sent or received that fit into each category. If you cannot find text messages that fit each category, review another form of your social media accounts or email. You may use messages that others have tweeted or posted.
In this forum, share one example that you found for each category of assertive, passive and passive aggressive behavior. Explain each example and provide supportive details for why you placed each message in the category you chose. Tell why you believe these messages were assertive, passive, or passive aggressive.
