What is indirect fighting? Provide an example
What will be an ideal response?
Indirect fighting is a conflict style that represents a high concern for one's own goals and low concern for one's partner's goals when a person avoids or accommodates during a conflict, but then behaves aggressively in another context. For example, if a boss asks an employee to do something that makes them mad, the employee might agree to do the task, but then retaliate in a passive-aggressive manner by doing the task poorly or calling in sick and avoiding the task all together.
