Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Jane is experiencing an avoidance-avoidance conflict, where she must choose between two options, both of which have negative outcomes. In this case, she must choose between being barked at by unfriendly dogs or having her braids pulled by the school bully. The best choice may vary depending on personal preferences, but in general, avoiding physical harm or discomfort (being physically hurt by dogs or having hair pulled) may be the priority, making taking the bus (even with the bully) the better choice.
