A quantitative study was conducted with the aim to investigate whether individuals use a specific Conflict strategy when they are in a task Conflict or a relationship Conflict in their workplace. The study also examined whether individuals experience positive or negative effects of a task Conflict or a relationship Conflict when a specific Conflict strategy have been used. Previous research explains the effects of task Conflicts and relationship Conflicts at the workplace (De Dreu, 2008) Likewise lifts the effects of the Conflict strategies interaction, avoidance, and power and coercion (Hoerr, 2005; Meyer, 2004; Trudel & Reio Jr., 2011). However it does not tie together what the Conflicts and Conflict strategies have for effects together. This also means that it is impossible to discern if there is a strategy that is frequently used in a specific Conflict type.

The purpose of this study is to examine secondary teachers' perceptions of Conflict, Conflict management, Conflict prevention and Conflict communication. In addition to theory, I conducted individual interviews and focus group discussions. Most teachers have a common view and argues that a Conflict occurs when two or more individuals do not agree on something. Typical Conflicts are about grades, teachers' changing professional roles and cellphones in the classroom. In my view, it seems as if the mobile phone has taken over the core Conflict that caps created for some 10 years ago, functioning now as the dominant symbol in an ongoing development process providing space for meeting and dealing with Conflicts in a constructive way..

Can meditation aid in a situation of Conflict? This paper answers that question.The reason I chose to examine this topic is due to own positive experiences that convinced me of the link between meditation and Conflict resolution. I wish to bring more light on this topic and to faciliate further research within the area.Through analyzing material on meditation, meditation and emotion and emotion and Conflict, I find here that some of the effects of meditation has a positive effect on our emotions and also that we can work through meditation to learn about the way we act on our emotions and also how we can learn to act to our advantage. I also show how emotions play a vital role in Conflicts between individuals and groups and that it is most urgent that we use what means we have to work Conflict to our best use. I believe that Conflict has it?s place in society and that good things can come from it, but that we can work with the Conflict so that it does not escalate out of proportion.

This paper examines the concept of environmental scarcity and the risk of Conflict, in particular agriculturalscarcity and the risk of Conflict. This paper compares the neighbouring countries Angola and Namibia, andinvestigates why Angola has had a Conflict and why Namibia has had peace. This paper investigates if the Conflict inAngola is caused by agricultural scarcity and if this is the explanation for the lasting Peace in Namibia..

The subject of this study is Conflict management. The purpose of this paper is to examine how teachers deal with Conflicts between pupils in primary education. The purpose is also to get more insight on what a Conflict is and show different strategies to manage Conflicts. To learn about how teachers deal with Conflicts between pupils in primary school, I chose to do interviews. I interviewed four teachers. In the interviews we talked about: their definition of what a Conflict is, what kind of Conflict that are most common, and how common it is with Conflicts in the school which they work at, how they handle Conflicts between students, how they believe that they manage Conflicts, if they have received any training or education in Conflict management and if the school they work at have any special guidelines for handling Conflicts. My questions are: How do the teachers think about their own involvement in students' Conflict management? How do the teachers think about which types of Conflicts that can be difficult to manage? The result of the study is that the teachers often let students handle Conflicts themselves and they think it is good for them to do it because it is a knowledge that we humans need have.

My thesis is based on a qualitative study in which I have selected six professional teachers in a school in Greater Stockholm, and their views on the phenomenon of Conflict management. My questions were the following.How teachers perceive the phenomenon of Conflict in the world of school?What strategies do teachers use to resolve Conflicts with students?In order to analyze my informants, I have chosen different books that deal with Conflict man-agement, policy documents and books on the teaching profession meaning. Through my investigation I found that some teachers used tools and strategies through expe-rience and reflections, and resolve Conflicts together or individually. My informants described that there are some teachers how choose to hide and pretend not to see the problem.

AbstractThe purpose of this study was to investigate how preschool teachers reflect on the phenomenon of Conflict, and to find out what children think about this in relation to Nanny method. I referred to the following questions:? How to reflect pre-school teachers on Conflict management at the preschool?? What methods / approaches tell teachers that they use in Conflict management?? How the children reflect on their experiences on Conflict management at the preschool?In the background, Im trying to define the word Conflict, and I also point to the methods and models that are already in Conflict management. It is clear that a key ingredient in the Conflict is communication, the question is how well we communicate with each other?I've done interviews with three active educators and four children to study this subject.

The purpose of my work is about how teachers work with dramatization. How they solve a Conflict, and if they use dramatization to solve a Conflict. I have therefore chosen to interview two teachers how they work with Conflict and dramatization.I was inspired to look into this when I had drama at college and we would solve different Conflicts using dramatization.The results of my interviews were that teachers do not use dramatization to solve a Conflict. They use discussion as a method to come up with solutions to the students, but they would like to learn more practical methods to solve Conflicts..

I have chosen an action research approach for this essay. I want to incorporate a method of Conflict management in the work of the personnel at a school and also discuss their thoughts and experience in Conflict management. I wanted to incorporate modern knowledge about constructive Conflict management for everyday use and I stress that if we can evolve these skills among the personnel in schools then we have a better chance of helping children with deviant behavior which often end up in Conflict because of it. This will also help all the other children and personnel to manage Conflict situations in a better way. I want to introduce a new way of thinking about Conflict management which in many ways is different from how it is today. Briefly the method which I advocate revolves around paying attention to every ones basic needs and says that everyone can win and no one has to loose. he main purpose of this essay has been to find out if focus group conversations is a viable method for improving Conflict management in the school system. Several of the participants has in their evaluations written that it was a rewarding and interesting way to work.

Abstract The purpose of the essay was to investigate how you can work with Conflict management through drama, to promote the meeting with children from many different cultures. I also wanted to see how the work may be different in a heterogeneous or homogeneous group of children.In the background I lift up what a Conflict can be, what kind of Conflict management methods there are, how to work with drama education as well as what ethnic Conflicts can be.The literature studies have shown that there are different types of Conflicts and that the Conflict management methods are many. In an attempt to get answers to my questions I?ve had drama lessons focusing on Conflicts in a heterogeneous and homogeneous group of children in grades 3.My study has shown that Conflict management through drama can increase the understanding of other cultures and promote the meeting between children. Just as the literature describes Conflicts, they can be difficult to solve and it is important to find a method that suits the class you work with.Key- words: Conflict, Conflict management, drama, homogeneous, heterogeneous..

Conflict prevention is a term which has gained much influence during the last decades. To prevent Conflicts from occuring have both humanitarian and economic incentives as the cost for war are much greater than the cost of acting preventive. To act in this matter has been regarded a priority for the United Nations during several years, and the European Union have also expressed a wish of playing a more active part. The essay compares the actions taken by the international organisations in Macedonia, a country which headed toward a violent Conflict. The UN acted through the mission UNPREDEP and the EU through the mission of Concordia.

The aim of the study is to investigate Conflicts in working lifefrom an individual and a relational perspective, as well as to illustrate how a Conflict ishandled as part of a work organisation and a working environment.When a person experiences a Conflict at work what do these experiences involve and how dothey affect the well-being of the person involved and the picture he or she has of him orherself?How does a workplace Conflict develop over time and how can we understand its origin andcourse?How do individuals experience the way a Conflict is handled in a workplace in relation to thestructure of the organisation and leadership?The study is based on a qualitative interview method with threeindividuals who have experienced workplace Conflict. Through our study we endeavoured tofind an in-depth understanding conveyed through the life world perspective of theinterviewees, which is our empirical data. The analysis is related to the study?s background ofearlier research and theory within the field of workplace Conflict.On the basis of our study can we illustrate that in order to prevent and handleworkplace Conflict, clear communication and individual resources are required; these include:a reflexive ability to work out issues independently.

The aim of this thesis was to find out how the teachers I have interviewed, felt that they worked with and looked at Conflict management. The aim was also to find similarities and differences in teachers' ways of working with Conflict. With the help of my questions, I got answers to what I wanted to explore in my essay. I used these questions: What strategies do the teachers I interviewed for managing Conflicts in preschool? What tools do the teachers I interviewed see as most effective in the process of Conflict management? Are there differences and similarities in the way that the teachers I interviewed work with current Conflict? What factors, according to the informants starts a Conflict? What is the teachers? definition of a Conflict and how does their definition affect their approach when working with Conflicts?In my study, I have used a qualitative approach in the form of structured interview, to get material for my thesis.
