Situation is actually operative

Question

Borrowing from Lewis Coser, Folger, Poole, and Stutman distinguish between realistic conflicts (ones involving differences concerning means to ends and/or the ends themselves) and nonrealistic conflicts (or expressions of aggression that are aimed at defeating or otherwise hurting others). Clearly, if one misperceives the nature of a conflict experienced with another person, persons, or a group, efforts to manage it might prove to be ineffective. Since on the surface, realistic and nonrealistic conflict may resemble one another, what are some cues one could use to determine which type of conflict in any given situation is actually operative? In addition, if the conflict appears to be nonrealistic, what do you think is the appropriate response upon coming to this realization? Why?
