    Conflict can occur between groups or within a group. It arises from disagreements over resources, power, decisions, or personal issues. Conflict may escalate due to uncertainty, misperceptions, reciprocity, and the formation of coalitions. However, conflict can be managed through commitment to negotiation, understanding different perspectives, using cooperative tactics, and preventing anger from spreading. Ultimately, resolving non-personal conflicts could improve group functioning.
