Conflicting motives trigger several psychological phenomena:

Example : Deciding between two equally fun vacation spots like Florida or Colorado.

: Choosing between two or more options, where each option has both pros and cons.

Experience : You waver because the goal is both appealing and repelling. As you get closer to the goal, the negative aspects "loom larger" and push you away.

Experience : This is typically the least stressful type and is resolved as soon as you start moving toward one choice, which then becomes more attractive.
