Qualitative research explores emotion-based conflicts in decisions by helping students understand how mixed feelings make choices harder. Participants often feel torn—like wanting freedom but fearing judgment. Students learn how these emotional struggles explain hesitation, avoidance, or unexpected decisions in daily life.
1. Wanting to Quit but Feeling Guilty: Participants want to leave a job but fear letting others down. Students see how guilt prevents action.
2. Excitement Mixed with Doubt: Some feel excited about a new move but also worry about failure. Students explore how joy and fear clash during major decisions.
3. Loving Someone but Feeling Trapped: People stay in unhealthy relationships out of love and fear. Students understand how emotions can pull in opposite directions.
4. Ambition Blocked by Fear: Participants want to aim higher but are scared of rejection. Students analyze how ambition and anxiety conflict in real decisions.
5. Pride vs. Apology: Some refuse to say sorry to protect pride. Students learn how emotional pride clashes with the need to resolve issues.
