ABSTRACT

This study analyzed how cultural biases, conflict perceptions and mediation types affected willingness to negotiate for solving conflicts in the context of the public dispute. The study investigated causal relationships between cultural biases and conflict perceptions in the first phase, and the impacts of these variables on willingness to negotiate under different mediating situations. The results showed that, hierarchical and egalitarian biases were related to the perception of value-related conflicts, and the fatalistic bias had an effect on interest-related conflicts. Conflicting parties with an individualistic bias expressed a strong willingness to negotiate both facilitative and evaluative mediation. On the other hand, conflicting parties with an egalitarian bias showed a strong willingness to negotiate only when they had a low level of the perception toward value-related conflicts in the situation of evaluative mediation. The results showed that conflict perceptions operate as moderating variables resulting in willingness to negotiate by interacting with cultural biases and mediation types.
