Week 4- Post 2


We use techniques such as fractionation, framing, reframing, and common ground mostly for interpersonal conflicts. However, we use them for other things as well. I feel that we use these techniques when we make our own decisions. In situations where we have trouble trying to make the best decisions we might use these techniques. For example, I am a full time student and there have been times where I would have two exams on the same day. Needless to say, there is conflict between when and how I am going to study for both exams. I can use fractionation to break down what topics I need to study for each class. For framing, I can ask myself what exam needs more studying and what topics I need to pay special attention to. Using these techniques help me prioritize what I need to do first. But also makes me feel like I know exactly what I need to do well on the exam.

  1. I think you did a good job on this post because I thought it was interesting to read. I also believe that we can use these conflicts to solve our own conflicts and such. I normally use fractionation when I have to make a decision that is rather hard to make. I normally break down the problem into why I would do this over the other or which one seems to benefit me more. I also use framing to decide on what topics or even subject to study when I feel overwhelm. These concepts are used in our daily lives whether it is between our self or with other people.
