      By: M. Jeong, J. Minson, M. Yeomans and F. Gino
      When entering into a negotiation, individuals have the choice to enact a variety of communication styles. We test the differential impact of being “warm and friendly” versus “tough and firm” in a distributive negotiation, when first offers are held constant and...  View Details
