A combination of factors that affect the occurrence of intrapersonal conflict:
1) Conflict between personal values and principles: for example, a person values honesty, but faces a situation that requires secrecy to maintain important relationships.
2) Conflict between different desires: for example, the desire for professional success versus the desire to spend more time with the family.
3) Conflict between one’s own expectations and social expectations: for example, a person wants to follow his own hobbies, while society imposes a certain path to success on him.
