Quizplus · Accepted Answer

A conflict is a situation in which two or more parties have opposing interests, goals, or values, and this describes the rivalry for exclusive control of the same area of land between two countries. The other options do not accurately describe this predicament. The two-factor theory refers to the two factors that contribute to the formation of attitudes: physiological arousal and cognitive appraisal. Superordinate goals refer to goals that can be achieved only through cooperation between different parties, which does not apply in this specific situation. The reciprocity norm refers to the tendency to respond to others' behavior with similar behavior, which is not applicable in this context.
