- Approach-approach conflict: occurs when you must choose between two desirable outcomes. On Friday night, should you go to the movies with your best friend or dinner with that really cute guy/girl from government class. Assuming both choices appeal to you, you have a conflict because you can only chose one.
- Avoidance-avoidance conflict: occurs when you must choose between two unattractive outcomes. If your parents tell you to clean your room or take out the garbage and you desire neither one you are experiencing an avoidance-avoidance conflict.
- Approach-avoidance: exists when ONE event or goal has both attractive and unattractive features. Let's say you love steak burritos but they make you feel bloated and sick later. Burritos have both attractive (tastes good) and unattractive (feel lousy) features.
- Multiple approach-avoidance conflicts: here you must choose between two or more things, each of which has both desirable and undesirable features. An excellent example is choosing a college. Perhaps you are deciding between Cal and Harvard. Cal has better weather (attractive), but their old desks are uncomfortable and ugly (unattractive). Harvard has a great legacy (attractive) but is an elitist school (unattractive). (Borrowed liberally from APPsychology.com.)
