18. Bias Perception: Fixed Pie the erroneous belief that the other party’s interests are directly opposed to one’s own interests when, in fact, they are often not completely opposed.
19. Bias Perception: Thompson and Hastie Explored the consequences for outcomes. They measured individual fixed-pie perceptions after just five minutes of negotiation They found fixed pie predicted individual and joint negotiation payoffs such that fixed-pie perceptions were associated with lower individual and joint profits. Negotiators with strong fixed-pie perceptions failed to identify interests that could be profitably logrolled or that were completely compatible.
20. Bias Perception: Why does this occur? Biased information search (negotiators’ faulty search for necessary information) Biased information processing (negotiators’ faulty processing of available information).
21. Bias Perception: Extremism Partisan perceivers believe that their own perceptions map onto objective reality. When they realize that the other side’s views differ from their own, they first attempt to “straighten out” the other side; when this does not work, they regard the other side as extremist. partisan perceivers tend to view the other side as having interests that are more opposed to their own than is actually the case.
22. Bias Perception: Problems with Extremism Exacerbates conflict Partisan perceivers ascribe more negative traits to their negotiating partner even when partisanship has been randomly assigned right before the negotiation Reduces the likelihood of reaching comprehensive integrative agreements during face-to-face negotiations
23. Bias Perception: Reactive Devaluation Bias Negotiators discount or dismiss concessions made by the other party merely as a function of who is offering them
24. Bias Perception: Stillinger, Epelbaum, Kelter, and Ross (1990) Experiment Participants negotiated with a confederate over the policy of their university regarding a political issue. Constant The antagonism of the negotiating confederate was held constant. During the negotiation, the confederate for a time adopted a stubborn position. Concession In two experimental conditions, however, the confederate ultimately made a concession; in the third (control) condition, no concession at all was made. Rating Subsequently, participants rated the attractiveness and significance of a number of different proposals, including the ones that had been offered in their negotiation session. Results Non-offered concessions were rated as more attractive and significant than offered concessions: The very fact that their counterpart offered them a concession diminished its value in the eyes of the participants.
25. Bias Perception: Fundamental Attribution Error People tend to view their own behavior as largely determined by the situation BUT B. regard other’s behavior as driven by chronic dispositions Larrick and Su (1999) Demonstrated this bias operated in negotiation. Negotiators erroneously attributed tough bargaining behaviors to difficult personalities rather than to situational factors. Fundamental attribution error often results from lack of sufficient information about the opponent’s situation.
26. Bias Perception: Coercion Bias People erroneously believe that A. coercive tactics will be effective in generating concessions when dealing with opponents BUT B. believe that these same tactics, when applied to the self, will have the opposite effect—that is, to increase their resolve not to concede. Rothbart and Hallmark (1988) in-group and outgroup members differed in the judged efficacy of coercion and conciliation as social influence strategies. Out-group members perceived coercion as more effective than conciliation when applied to others, In-group members perceived coercion as less effective than conciliation when applied to their own social or categorical group members.
