Morton Deutsch identified six types of conflicts: veridical, contingent, displaced, misattributed, latent, and false. Veridical conflicts exist objectively and are accurately perceived. Contingent conflicts depend on circumstances that are not recognized by conflicting parties. Displaced conflicts involve arguing about the wrong issues. Misattributed conflicts are between the wrong parties over the wrong issues. Latent conflicts should be occurring but are not. False conflicts occur without an objective basis.
