Which type of conflict occurs between two different people?

• A. Intrapersonal
• B. Interpersonal
• C. Intergroup
• D. Organizational

Answer: (B)

Interpersonal conflicts occur between two individuals, focusing on how people relate and communicate with one another. They typically arise from differences in goals, values, or personality, or from miscommunication and competition for limited resources. Because the dispute is between two people, it’s distinct from intrapersonal conflict, which happens inside one person; intergroup conflict, which occurs between groups or teams; and organizational conflict, which involves wider organizational structures or policies. For example, two coworkers arguing over who should take the lead on a task illustrates interpersonal conflict.
