The negotiation group reported decreased positive affect, increased negative affec… Show more

“…This does not only reduce parties' feelings of uncertainty (Bollen, Euwema, & Müller, 2010) and boosts their self-esteem, but also decreases the omnipresence of strong emotionssuch as anger-that tend to have a negative effect on cognitive reasoning and problem solving (Clore & Huntsinger, 2007). This enhances parties' responsiveness to the other party's situation and motivates them to reflect on the situation at hand and to search for a mutual acceptable solution (Elliott, Bohart, Watson, & Greenberg, 2011;Greenberg, Watson, Elliot, & Bohart, 2001;Jameson, Bodtker, Porch, & Jordan, 2009;Jameson et al, 2010). The experience of anger recognition may therefore contribute to the mediation process (e.g., constructive and less emotional communication between the parties) as well as its outcome (e.g., agreements that are more in line with underlying interests and concerns) resulting in perceptions of mediation effectiveness.…”

“…Long-term satisfying mediation agreement will only be reached when underlying issues have been adequately addressed (Jameson et al, 2009;Jones, 2001). If not, negative emotions will affect future relationships and parties' well-being in a negative way.…”

“…The importance of sharing and naming emotions in conflicts between people is confirmed 376 PIJPSM 38,2 in research and theories about third-party mediation, conflict transformation, transitional justice and reconciliation among children (e.g. Shapiro, 2002;Fisher and Sharp, 2004;Jameson et al, 2009;Brounéus, 2010;Verbeek and De Waal, 2001). Thus, by venting stress and negative emotions absent of physical aggression, the police expressed vulnerability.…”

“…Por este motivo, en el origen de cualquier conflicto se identifica una gestión inadecuada de las emociones (Pearce & Littlejohn, 1997). El conflicto aparece generalmente cuando emergen emociones negativas que las personas no son capaces de controlar o regular (Bell & Song, 2005;Desivilya & Yagil, 2005;Deutsch, Coleman, & Marcus, 2006;Jameson, Bodtker, Porch, & Jordan, 2009). …”
