Arbitration & Mediation

Round-up of noteworthy articles for mediators, negotiators

By Diane Levin

For the past month, I’ve been test-driving Twitter, a Web 2.0 microblogging, messaging, and social media tool. I’ll be discussing those experiences later this week, but in the meantime, I thought I’d pull together a sampling of articles I’ve been sharing with my followers on Twitter.

• Four Ways of Looking at a Lawsuit: How Lawyers Can Use the Cognitive Frameworks of Mediation“
• “Wikitruth Through Wikiorder” - a look at dispute resolution on Wikipedia
• “Saving Face: The Benefits of Not Saying I’m Sorry” - a critique of recent apology laws
• “Is There a Law Instinct?” - exploring the human impulse to create legal systems to organize social behavior
• “Getting Even vs. Being the Odd One Out: Conflict and Cohesion in Even and Odd Sized Groups” - odd-sized groups more harmonious than even-sized ones, according to study
• “Dishonest Deed, Clear Conscience: Self-Preservation through Moral Disengagement and Motivated Forgetting” - examining the transgressions ordinary people make in daily life
• “Unskilled and Unaware of It: How Difficulties in Recognizing One’s Own Incompetence Lead to Inflated Self-Assessments“
• “Is expert memory better than non-expert memory?” - test yourself with a video
• It’s Greek to me: how different cultures express incomprehension
