Is it better to keep a low-profile?

Some thoughts that came across while trying to understand the status characteristics and expectation-states theories -

Manifest conflict

?

Manifest conflict is the activity dimension of conflict. Conflictual behavior refers to overt activity like written or oral exchanges expressing disagreement between two or more parties. Conflictual behavior can range from passive resistance to overt aggression.

Perceived conflict

?

Perceived conflict is an individual's perception or awareness of being in conflict with another. It is a cognitive state. Stress, tension, hostility, and anxiety characterize affective conflict. These feelings are necessary, but not sufficient, conditions for conflictual behavior to arise.

Latent conflict

?

Latent conflict encompasses potential sources of conflictual behavior like role deviance, allocation of resources, divergence of goals, bad communication, and drives for autonomy.
