The way people behave within conflicts is a strong indicator that peaceful resolution is a possible outcome of conflict management (Eunson, 2007) . Conflict management is defined as the process of focusing on the behavior, relationships, and context of the conflict in order to create and maintain stable communication between people in conflict (Jeong, 2010). It is argued that peaceful solutions are found when all parities involved in the conflict have seen their individual outcomes satisfied (REF). People have the ability to choose to position themselves with the right intention so that everyone has the opportunity to achieve their personal outcomes (Rognes & Schei, 2010). Individuals who approach conflict with a willingness to see the situation from the other person's perspective can effectively manage conflicts toward a resolution (Rognes & Schei, 2010; Tezer, 1999). If an individual is willing to use empathy to guide their approach to engaging in conflict, they will begin the process of finding mutually beneficial outcomes (Rognes & Schei, 2010; Cornelius & Faire 2011). First, in order to analyze key behaviors within conflicts, key approaches are identified by discussing three models of conflict behavior to better understand the nature of the behavior and its influences on conflict. Second, an integrative approach to conflict is discussed as a productive approach to conflict management. Third, specific behaviors that fall under the integrative model are discussed along with discussion of unhelpful behaviors that are contrary to the integrative model. An affirmation of the integrative approach to conflict management discussion is undertaken by examining conflict management within traditional African Pygmy colonies.
