Which conflict resolution style is described as one party sacrificing something to allow the other to get what they want?

• A. Competing
• B. Accommodating
• C. Compromising
• D. Collaborating

Answer: (B)

Accommodating focuses on putting the other person’s needs first and yielding your own goal. This style involves low assertiveness and high cooperativeness, meaning you sacrifice something of your own to allow the other party to get what they want. It’s best when preserving the relationship or when the issue isn’t important to you but matters to the other person, or when time is limited and harmony is the priority. It can be useful to maintain goodwill or de-escalate a situation, but using it too often can lead to your own needs being consistently unmet or feeling resentful. န
