Conflict Resolution

The Conflict Analysis Paper requires the utilization of key concepts discussed in the course, as well as integrating outside sources, and apply them to the analysis of a conflict. You will identify a specific conflict within your healthcare work setting in which you were involved, or choose a conflict you observed or were aware. Using this conflict situation, you will analyze the development, escalation, and outcome(s) of conflict through a step by step exploration of the conflict process. In order to protect that privacy of the organization and the people involved, change real names to pseudonyms. You will choose either the Conflict Mapping (Wehr, 1979) model or the TRIP (Wilmot & Hocker, 2010) model to analyze the conflict and identify the alternative dispute resolution (ADR) approach (negotiation, mediation, arbitration, or facilitation) appropriate to manage the conflict. Manuscript Preparation: The analysis paper will follow APA 6 (2010) style and format. Double-space the manuscript and use the 12-pt plain font Times New Roman. Format the paper with margins of 1? on all four sides. Include a title page with a running head and insert page numbers in the upper right corner. Please follow the example of a title page in the APA (2010) manual. The analysis paper will end with a separate reference page. Please follow the references examples in the APA manual. Text Requirements: Begin the main text on a separate page. The analysis needs to reflect your original insights and perceptions and include 7-10 in-text citations that will connect your discussion points and examples to your references. Format the in text citations according to APA (2010) style and format. When you connect your discussion points and examples to your references, paraphrase another author’s work with citation, or include short quotations for which you provide the correct citation with pagination. Therefore, the majority of each paragraph will include more than just quotes of another author’s work. The length of the text excludes the title and references pages. References: The analysis paper references must include the course text and a minimum of at least three (4) additional references from academic sources such as journals, books, and academic online sources in APA 6 (2010) style and format. APA 6 requires in text citations of every reference. Please note: Wikipedia. Endnotes, or similar online websites, and abstracts of articles are not appropriate sources for this level of writing. Abbreviations and Symbols: Write out the full term and place the abbreviation or acronym in parentheses at the first use. Afterwards, use only the abbreviation in your text.
