Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Ambivalence is the experience of having mixed feelings or contradictory ideas about a particular activity or goal. This can result in feeling both attracted to and repelled by the same thing, leading to uncertainty and difficulty making decisions. Approach conflict and avoidance conflict both refer to situations where someone is pulled in two different directions, but they do not necessarily involve mixed feelings about the same thing. General adaptation conflict is a term used in stress theory, and does not relate specifically to conflicts or ambivalence about a particular goal or activity.
