Call for Papers: Special Issue of Group Decision and Negotiation on Emotion in Negotiation and Dispute Resolution
Group Decision and Negotiation is pleased to announce a special issue focusing on emotion in negotiation and dispute resolution. The issue will be edited by Dan Druckman and Mara Olekalns, incoming editors of the Social/Behavioral Sciences Department of Group Decision and Negotiation
For many years, negotiation scholars have investigated the contextual, social, and cognitive factors that influence negotiation outcomes. A relatively recent development is the opening of another “black box” in negotiation. This can be seen in research focusing on negotiation processes and in research examining how the intangible aspects of negotiation, such as reputation, trust and emotion, shape both processes and outcomes. This Special Issue focuses on capturing the increasing emphasis that negotiation and dispute resolution scholars are giving to the role of emotion in shaping strategic decisions and outcomes. Our aim is to highlight new theory and research focusing on the role of emotion, including the way that emotion interacts with the situation or context in influencing dispute resolution processes and outcomes. We welcome empirical and theoretical submissions addressing this important topic.
Manuscripts should be submitted in electronic form by February 27, 2006 to: Mara Olekalns (m.olekalns@mbs.edu). Enquiries should be directed to Mara Olekalns or Dan Druckman.
