Accommodation Style
The accommodating style is cooperative and unassertive. In this style, the person gives in to what the
other side wants, even if it means giving up one’s personal goals. People who use this style may fear
speaking up for themselves or they may place a higher value on the relationship, believing that
disagreeing with an idea might be hurtful to the other person. They will say things such as, “Let’s do it
your way” or “If it’s important to you, I can go along with it.” Accommodation may be an effective strategy
if the issue at hand is more important to others compared to oneself. However, if a person perpetually
uses this style, that individual may start to see that personal interests and well-being are neglected.
