And now analyze in more detail what qualities of character, especially human behavior characteristic of a conflict of personality.

The generalization of the results of research psychologists and pedagogues, observation and experience show that such qualities and features include:

• pursuit of whatever has come to dominate, to be the first, where it is possible and it is impossible to say its last word;

• a desire to be so "fundamental" that it pushes to the hostile actions and deeds;

• excessive straightforwardness in the statements and judgments, as we know, are not to everyone's taste;

• criticism, especially criticism is unfounded, insufficiently reasoned, it is not only annoying, but often just creates conflict;

• bad mood if it also repeated periodically, often fertile ground for conflict;

• conservative thinking, attitudes, beliefs, unwillingness to overcome the outdated traditions of collective life, which become an obstacle to its development, inevitably lead to conflict;

^ Desire to tell the truth in the eye. Sometimes unceremonious interference in personal life also creates a complex, sometimes dramatic, situation;

• striving for independence - good quality, but to a certain extent. If the desire for independence grows into a desire to do "whatever I want" and faced with the wishes and opinions of others, it is facing imminent conflict;

^ To be persistent, as is well known, especially in a competitive environment, it is very important, but if the persistence borders on obsession, it's annoying;

• unfair assessment of actions and the actions of others, belittling of the role and importance of the other person's cause is usually a negative reaction;

• initiative, especially creative, it's good, but when a person takes the initiative where it, as the saying goes, do not ask, it creates tension and even conflict situation. Proceeding from the above state some rules of conduct aimed at, to overcome the negative qualities of character and conduct.
