Week 4 D-2



You can use the techniques such as fractionation, framing, reframing and common ground for solving problems that not only involve interpersonal conflict, but for solving intrapersonal conflicts as well. You might think it would be hard to apply those concepts to an intrapersonal conflict since that relates to individual self or mind, but it can be done. A person can at times be hard on themselves when making important decisions and need to set back to use help with solving it on their own.  For example if someone is stressed about money and paying the bills, fractionation can help to divide the debate about how they will spend their paycheck and to divide it amongst their bills. Reframing and framing could be used to help find guidance from finance leaders to help with budgeting their money.  And common ground could be used for a positive outlook and help with seeing that hard work pays off.

  1. Hi Roro,

    I enjoyed reading your blog, and how you can use those techniques when applying it to your own self! We are all students, and are trying to expand our minds, but with that can come struggles. I think you are so right, we can be way too hard on ourselves, whether it be with school or relationships or our jobs. I hadn't thought about using these techniques with regards to finances, but it really made sense to me once you said it! And common ground is always helpful to see outside of ourselves, and be able to relate to others. Thanks for your post!
