man from birth is in constant physical, mental, moral and social development.Moving forward is impossible without overcoming obstacles and solving problems.Therefore, on the one hand, intrapersonal conflict - this is one of the sources of development.Although the phenomenon has long been known, but from a scientific point of view of psychology it took them until the end of the last century.Not the least role in the study played such great scientists as Freud, Karl Jaspers, Maslow, Frankl, A. Petrovsky.
short, intrapersonal conflict - a clash of divergent forces in man, in his mind.The fact that the individual is multifaceted, composed of different layers, reservoirs experience neurophysiological features.Clashes and conflicts can be inside one side of the individual, and between them.For example, between desires (related to the field of motivation) and opportunities (psycho-physiological properties).There are also mismatch of roles, values, attitudes and needs, the problems of adaptation.In the most general classification can be divided, "torn in the soul" in the positive and negative.Constructive (positive) intrapersonal conflict - is the driving force of development, it is a source of samosovershenstsovaniya.Take, for example, a student who really wants to be among the first.Initial capabilities and level of training at all different, but if a person is aware of what he is missing, he starts for the intended purpose to work intensively on themselves.Read, study foreign languages, not engaged in 2-3 hours, as the others, and 6-7.
On the other hand, destructive intrapersonal conflict - a serious internal tension, disagreement between the vital human needs and values, from which he does not see a reasonable way out.Such mental stress (in extreme form reaching the neuroses, depression and even suicide) leads to a variety of abnormalities in human behavior."Care in the disease", drug addiction, alcoholism, rejection of others or himself (and often both), many mental illness - all sources can also be intrapersonal conflict.An example of this destructive way of solving problems - the protest suicide.When a person wants and needs are not met, do not correspond to the possibilities and circumstances, the desperate person sees the only way out in the disengagement, in "escape" from reality.Another example is a neurosis with low self-esteem, which blocks the ability of the individual, and does not allow them to appear.
Types of intrapersonal conflicts can also be determined on the basis of which areas of mental life are involved.Unity in the classification there is no single comprehensive psychological theory.Thus, isolated motivational, moral, role-playing, adaptation or intrapersonal conflict.It depends on what kind of important settings enabled.If a person is not able to role-play such roles, which I would like.For example, a successful business woman can not be both a housewife and her husband and children to devote as much time as it should be according to "perfect" the concept of "I".A timid and diffident man is unable to play the role of chief executive and leader.
in philosophy often described moral intrapersonal conflict.This mismatch between the desires, aspirations, values and sense of duty.Very often, such people experience peace of discord, which are of great importance religious beliefs, social life, patriotism.The simplest example - church divorce.Life is not made up of spouses, but religion in general prohibits legitimize the separation.And often people live in the other marriages are new families, children are born, but the mismatch of personal feelings and beliefs creates a strong conflict.
