Conflict is a state of opposition, disagreement or incompatibility between two or more people or groups of people, which is sometimes characterized by physical violence. In other words - a clash of interests, values, actions or directions often sparks a conflict.
There are many different kinds of conflicts, for instance: intrapersonal, interpersonal, emotional, group, ideological, economic, military and many more.
Psychological studies are more likely to research emotional conflicts. Emotional conflict is the presence in the subconscious of different and opposing emotions relating to a situation that has recently taken place or is in the process of being unfolded, accompanied at times by a physical discomfort and in particular by tension headaches. Situations which cause emotional conflict can be everyday occurrences which might seem at the time unimportant.
Psychologically, a conflict exists when the reduction of one motivating stimulus involves an increase in another, so that a new adjustment is demanded. The word is applicable from the instant that the clash occurs. Even when we say that there is a potential conflict we are implying that there is already a conflict of directions even though a clash may not yet have occurred. For example:
