conflictIn psychology, a struggle resulting from incompatible or opposing needs, drives, wishes, or demands. Interpersonal conflict represents such a struggle between two or more people, while internal conflict is a mental struggle.

Conflicts that are not readily resolved may cause the person to suffer helplessness and anxiety. See also learned helplessness. |
