WANTED! One Good Roommate: Teaching Conflict Resolution in Small Group Communication

• In Event: G.I.F.T.S. Session III

Abstract

Because students experience roommate conflict in their lives, this is a very realistic conflict that college students can relate to. As students learn about patterns of conflict resolution such as collaboration and consensus, negotiation, accommodation, compromise and competition this activity allows them to practice these patterns of resolution.
