Show moreThe present study tests the effectiveness of a mindset intervention in value-driven conflicts. We hypothesize that this intervention fosters integrative negotiation behaviors and subjective outcomes. In an experimental 2 (motive: value vs. utility) by 2 (intervention: mindset vs. control) design, 253 participants negotiated online with a simulated counterpart. In contrast to predictions, the mindset led to more integrative trade-offs among utility-driven but not value-driven negotiators. However, the results support the effectiveness of the mindset intervention to improve subjective outcomes of value-driven negotiators. Without the intervention, they perceive the negotiation as significantly less positive than utility-driven negotiators with the same objective outcome. In addition, explorative analyses show further interpersonal benefits of an integrative mindset: It counteracts an effect that value-driven negotiators respect their counterpart less as a person of equal worth than utility-driven negotiators. The implications of these findings for resolving value conflicts and improving tolerance between parties with different value priorities are discussed. Show less

Show moreAs colleagues and collaborators, we reflect on the work and legacy of Peter Carnevale, currently professor at the University of Southern California, and recipient of the 2002 Jeffrey Z. Rubin Theory‐to‐Practice Award of the International Association for Conflict Management (IACM). We review Carnevale’s main contributions, including his work on time pressure and surveillance, strategies for mediation, emotions in negotiation, and the use and integration of distinct methods for studying conflict and negotiation. We share personal anecdotes from our time as PhD students and collaborators with Peter Carnevale, and we touch on lessons learned for doing science and mentoring the next generation. Show less

Show moreFour former PhD students reflect on the work and legacy of their mentor Evert van de Vliert, emeritus professor at the University of Groningen in the Netherlands, and recipient of the 2005 Lifetime Achievement Award of the International Association for Conflict Management (IACM). We review two major contributions pioneered by Van de Vliert: theory on the cognitive, motivational, and affective underpinnings of interpersonal conflict management in private and professional settings and theory on the climato‐economic underpinnings of human cultural institutions and behavioral biases. In addition, we share personal anecdotes from our time as PhD students and collaborators of Evert van de Vliert. Throughout we touch on lessons learned for doing science and mentoring the next generation. Show less
