To resolve family conflict, it is necessary to have open communication, accurate perception of the problem, and a(n):

a.
intact family structure.
b.
arbitrator.
c.
willingness to consider the view of others.
d.
balance in personality types.

ANS: C

Without the willingness of the members of a group to consider the views of others, conflict resolution cannot take place. The structure of a family may affect their dynamics, but it is still possible to resolve conflict without an intact family structure if all the ingredients of conflict resolution are present. Conflicts can be resolved without the assistance of an arbitrator. Most families have diverse personality types among their members. This may make conflict resolution more difficult; however, it should not impede it if the ingredients of conflict resolution are present.
