Reasoning (R) : Conflict arises within an individual whenever his drives and motives are blocked and/or he is confronted with competing roles and goals and he is unable to take decisions.
Intra-Individual Conflict Analysis
This question assesses the understanding of intra-individual conflict, its characteristics, and causes.
Assertion (A) Correctness
Assertion (A) states that intra-individual conflict is difficult to analyze because it is internal. This is accurate, as internal conflicts are subjective and not directly observable, making analysis challenging.
Reasoning (R) Correctness
Reasoning (R) describes the conditions under which conflict arises within an individual: blocked drives/motives or confronting competing roles/goals, leading to indecision. This accurately defines common sources of internal conflict.
Explanation Link
Reasoning (R) directly explains Assertion (A). The difficulties mentioned in (A) stem from the internal nature of the conflicts described in (R), such as blocked drives and competing goals, which are psychological and hard to pinpoint externally.
Conclusion
Both Assertion (A) and Reason (R) are correct statements about intra-individual conflict. Furthermore, Reason (R) provides a valid explanation for why Assertion (A) is true.
