Plausibility conflict of belief functions is based on decisional support / opposition of elements of a frame of discernment. It distinguishes conflict between belief functions from internal conflicts of individual functions. This contribution presents a revision of plausibility conflict between belief functions. According to four types of conflicting sets, four variants of plausibility conflict are defined. Further, a new alternative approach - pignistic conflict - based on pignistic probability instead of on normalized plausibility of singletons is introduced. Its cautious version may be considered to be an improvement of Liu’s degree of conflict cf. Comparing the approaches, a relation of sum of conflicting belief masses and a relation of a distance of belief functions to conflict between belief functions are also discussed.
