CONFLICT, FRUSTRATION AND STRESS
CONFLICT
Conflict is defined as the "simultaneous occurrence of two mutually antagonistic motives or impulses. “It exists when the reduction of one motivating stimulus involves an increase in another, so that a new adjustment is demanded. The word is applicable from the instant that the clash occurs. Even when we say that there is a potential conflict, we are implying that there is already a conflict of direction even though a clash may not yet have occurred. For example, if a boy wants to watch the TV the night before his examinations but wishes to top the exams, cannot achieve satisfaction of his desires, he is experiencing a conflict.
In theories of personality, conflict is considered as a state of discomfort or stress caused by an individual’s experiencing two or more desires or needs that are incompatible.
Carroll (1976) states that the psychoanalysis stresses the importance of conflict in the life of the individual. The forces involved have been labeled the id, the ego and the superego.
