Avoidance-Avoidance Conflict

The avoidance-avoidance conflict is one of the three possible conflicts that accompany a decision-making situation. The avoidance-avoidance conflict refers to making a decision between two equally undesirable choices. A simple example of this could be making a decision between doing a homework assignment or doing housework. This type of conflict would normally be settled by an assessment of the relative importance of the two tasks.
