Question: Which of the following IS NOT TRUE about ambivalence and relationships? Group of answer choices One can reduce ambivalence by establishing clear Management by Objectives with subordinates. If a teenager loves his or her parents and appreciates all they constantly do for him or her it is also possible to hate the parents because there is too much dependency. Advantages of ambivalence are increasing tensions, increasing initiative and increasing quality. In the example the instructor provided in class on the two brothers, the dependency one brother had on the other was the cause of the ambivalent feelings. A subordinate can enjoy working for a manager and a company, but dislike having too much micromanagement and dependency.
