What is the definition of interpersonal conflict?
Interpersonal conflict involves conflict between individuals who
for whatever reason(s) are at odds with one another. It may be for
power, influence, ideology, or simply the "rub each other the wrong
way." The conflict can be subtle evidenced by slights and veiled
negative comments or it can be open criticism and advance even to
open hostility. It usually depends on the nature of the persons
involved and the perceived value of what's at stake that determines
where the conflict goes, how intense it becomes.
