a set of factors that affect the emergence of conflict between people. Examples include:
1) Conflict of goals: when each party seeks to achieve goals that are incompatible with the goals of the other.
2) Differences in values and principles: differences in cultures, beliefs, or methods of dealing with different situations.
3) Misunderstanding: lack of understanding of intentions, lack of clarity in the expression of desires and needs.
4) External constraints: limited resources (time, money, social status), which increases the likelihood of conflict.
5) Personal disagreements: differences in personalities, behaviors, or emotional intelligence.
