BlackTom AI · Accepted Answer

Revisiting the question: a third party is brought in to help and has some power to compel a decision; this is an example of what approach to conflict?
Option a: Domination. This would imply one party coerces the other to accept outcomes, often through force or threats, but the scenario specifies a third party who helps and can compel a decision rather than one party imposing terms directly. This makes domination an incomplete fit.
Option b: Withdrawal. Withdrawal involves retreat or avoidance from the conflict, not a facilitation or compulsion toward resolution. Since a third party is actively involved and has some power to compel, withdrawal does not describe this approach.
Option c: Mediation. Mediation involves a neutral third party who facilitates discussion and helps parties reach an agreement, but typically the mediator cannot compel a binding decision; the agreement is voluntary. The phrase 'has some power to compel a decision' signals a stronger authority than a standard mediator.
Option d: Arbitration. In arbitration, a neutral third party or panel makes a decision for the disputing sides, and they often have the authority to compel or enforce a resolution. This aligns with the description that the third party can compel a decision, fitting the arbitration model.
Thus, analyzing each option, the scenario most closely matches arbitration because it centers on a third party with some coercive power to decide the outcome, rather than purely facilitating or avoiding the conflict. The other options fail to capture the element of a compulsory decision imposed by an external actor.
