In this study, Islamic dispute resolution methods and processes in contemporary Turkey are examined. The findings indicate that the dispute coming to ulema (Islamic scholars who are experts in Islamic legal jurisprudence) forms three cluster types: marital, financial, and those related to fights and accidents. The ulema’s legitimacy is faith and knowledge based, and does not depend solely on professional expertise, procedures, or settings. Transformational, facilitative, and muscle mediation approaches do not directly correspond to the ulema’s third‐party approaches. Family elder/counselor, peace‐broker, and facilitator/arbitrator are indigenous third‐party roles. Their techniques include elements of the mediation procedures employed in western contexts, as well as those originating in Islamic law, such as fatwa, kısas‐diya, and providing explanations according to sharia. Ulema do not get additional help from other third parties and do not socialize with disputants. Adelet (“justice”), mahremiyet (“privacy”), kardeşlik (“brotherhood”), and bağışlamak (“forgiveness”) are concepts and metaphors to which reference is frequently made in explaining the logic and fundamental values of the ulema’s intervention.

“…Moreover, although the aforementioned literature is largely derived from western samples, it is noteworthy that the formulative and manipulative mediation styles have been found in other cultures. Mediators involved in disputes in Malaysia (Wall & Callister, ), Thailand (Callister & Wall, ), China (Wall & Blum, ), Japan (Callister & Wall, ), South Korea (Kim, Wall, Sohn, & Kim, ), Turkey (Kozan & Ilter, ; Wall et al, ), India (Wall et al, ), and Gambia (Davidheiser, ) reported using a formulative mediation strategy (i.e., proposing solutions to disputants) as well as a manipulative strategy (i.e., pushing disputants hard to agreement). On the basis of their theoretical support, empirical stability, and cultural ubiquity, the current research will focus on the effectiveness of the formulative and manipulative styles…”

“…While theory and research on conflict and negotiation have expanded to explore the role of culture (e.g., Gal, Kraus, Gelfand, Khashan, & Salmon, ; Gelfand & Brett, ; Ting‐Toomey & Oetzel, ), it has rarely examined the role of mediators in intercultural contexts. And although research on mediation has shown the promise of this technique for improving settlement rates (Druckman, Druckman, & Arai, ; Wall & Dunne, ; Wilkenfeld, Young, Asal, & Quinn, ), increasing disputant satisfaction (Depner, Cannata, & Ricci, ; Druckman et al, ; Wall & Dunne, ; Wilkenfeld et al, ), and creating more durable settlements (Elleman, ; Landsman, Thompson, & Barber, ), the field of mediation has generally ignored the role of culture (see Bercovitch & Foulkes, ; Callister & Wall, ; Cohen, ; Wall, Arunachalam, & Callister, ; Wall, Beriker, & Wu, ; Wall & Callister, , for exceptions).…”

Cultural contingencies of mediation: Effectiveness of mediator styles in intercultural disputes

Summary The difficulties of intercultural negotiations are well established, yet few studies have examined the factors that facilitate the successful resolution of these disputes. This research took a dynamic approach and examined the types of mediation tactics that are most effective in intercultural disputes given specific disputant characteristics. One hundred and ten participants from the United States and Turkey negotiated a community‐based dispute in real time from their respective countries using a newly developed virtual lab. Dyads were randomly assigned to negotiate with a formulative computer mediator, a manipulative computer mediator, or in an unmediated control condition. As predicted, the results showed a significant interaction between manipulative mediation and markers of disputant difficulty on Pareto efficiency. Manipulative mediation produced agreements of higher Pareto efficiency in intercultural dyads with more difficult disputants (low openness to mediation, low motivational cultural intelligence (CQ), low trust, and low willingness to concede) but lower Pareto efficiency in dyads with more favorable disputant factors (high openness to mediation, high motivational CQ, high trust, and high willingness to concede). The results for subjective value also partially supported the hypotheses. Theoretical and practical implications for the study of intercultural disputes are discussed.
