What characterizes the compromising/reconciling technique for resolving conflict?

  1. Permanent solutions

  2. Win-Win outcomes

  3. Both parties giving up something

  4. Highly competitive approach

The correct answer is: Both parties giving up something

The compromising/reconciling technique for resolving conflict is characterized by both parties giving up something. This approach aims to find a middle ground where each party concedes some of their initial preferences for the benefit of reaching a mutually satisfactory solution. This contrasts with other conflict resolution approaches like the competitive approach (where one party wins and the other loses) or the collaborative approach (which aims for win-win outcomes without requiring either party to give up something). Permanent solutions are not necessarily guaranteed with compromising/reconciling; instead, the focus is on finding a balanced resolution through concessions from both sides.
