Honest Feedback: Barriers to Receptivity and Discerning the Truth in Feedback

Current Opinion in Psychology | Nathan M. Fulham, Kori L. Krueger, Taya R. Cohen

In this article, we identify barriers to receptivity and discerning the truth in feedback and illustrate how these barriers hinder recipients’ learning and improvement. Honesty is critically important for both receptivity and discerning the truth in the feedback.

The Psychological Experience of Intragroup Conflict

Research in Organizational Behavior | Kori L. Krueger, Matthew A. Diabes. Laurie R. Weingart

The vast majority of research on team conflict has conceptualized conflict as a group-level phenomenon involving perceptions that are shared by all team members. We advance the understanding of team conflict by developing a model that recognizes that people experience conflict differently based on their personal characteristics which, in turn, influence the process through which they make sense of the conflict as it occurs.

The Effects of Conflict Type and Conflict Expression Intensity on Conflict Management

International Journal of Conflict Management | Gergana Todorova, Kenneth T. Goh, Laurie R. Weingart

This research demonstrates that people use different approaches to managing conflict depending on the type of conflict (about the task or their interpersonal relationships) and the intensity with which opposition is expressed. Results show that people are more likely to respond to task conflict and conflicts expressed with less intensity using problem-solving, compromising and yielding, and to relationship conflicts and conflicts expressed with higher intensity through forcing. Information acquisition and negative emotions experienced by team members help to explain these relationships.

Opening the Black Box of I-Deals Negotiation: Integrating I-Deals and Negotiation Research

Group and Organization Management | Maria Simosi, Denise M. Rousseau, Laurie R. Weingart

This paper examines how negotiation research and theory inform our understanding of how individualized work arrangements or “i-deals” are created. We identify key features of negotiation that apply to i-deal formulation and use these to develop an agenda for future research on i-deals.

The “Fixed” Pie Perception and Strategy in Dyadic Versus Multiparty Negotiations

Organizational Behavior and Human Decision Processes | Mary C. Kern, Jeanne M. Brett, Laurie R. Weingart, Chase S. Eck

Evidence from three studies shows how multiparty negotiators can be just as successful as two-party negotiators by using tactical behavior differently in response to the complexities of the situation.

Work Design and Task Conflict in Interdisciplinary Groups

International Journal of Conflict Management | Gergana Todorova, Matthew R.W. Brake, Laurie R. Weingart

Results from a study of 29 academic research labs across two universities demonstrates how diversity of expertise and group work design combine to influence task conflict, idea sharing, and performance in research lab groups.

Brokering Orientations and Social Capital: Influencing Others' Relationships Shapes Status and Trust

Journal of Personality and Social Psychology | Nir Halevy, Eliran Halali, Taya R. Cohen

People often influence others’ relationships, for better or worse. In this paper, we conceptualize social influence processes that impact others’ social networks as brokering, and introduce a novel measure of brokering orientations that helps us understand how brokering behavior shapes people’s social capital. Our work explains how brokering behaviors can create, terminate, reinforce, and modify others’ network ties

Honesty Among Lawyers: Moral Character, Game Framing, and Honest Disclosures in Negotiations

Negotiation Journal | Taya R., Cohen, Erik G. Helzer, Robert A. Creo,

Lawyers have broad discretion in deciding how honestly to behave when negotiating. In this paper, we propose that lawyers’ choices about whether to disclose information to correct misimpressions by opposing counsel are guided by their moral character and their cognitive framing of negotiation.

The Character Lens: A Person-Centered View of Moral Recognition and Ethical Decision-Making

Journal of Business Ethics | Erik G. Helzer, Taya R. Cohen, Yeonjeong Kim

This work unifies research on moral character, moral recognition, sensemaking, and judgment and decision-making into a person-centered account of ethical decision-making, highlighting the way decision-makers actively and directly shape the choice contexts to which they must respond.

Difficult Conversations: Navigating the Tension Between Honesty and Benevolence

Current Opinion in Psychology | Emma E. Levine, Annabelle R. Roberts, Taya R. Cohen

In this article, we review recent research on egocentrism, ethics, and communication to explain why communicators overestimate the degree to which honesty and benevolence conflict during difficult conversations, document the conversational missteps people make as a result of this erred perception, and propose more effective conversational strategies that honor the long-term compatibility of honesty and benevolence.

Trapped by a First Hypothesis: How Rudeness Leads to Anchoring

Journal of Applied Psychology | Binyamin Cooper, Christopher R. Giordano, Amir Erez, Trevor A. Foulk, Heather Reed, Kent B. Berg 

Across four studies, the authors investigated the effect of exposure to rude behavior on workers’ tendency to rely too heavily or fixate on one piece of information when making a decision. The studies included medical simulations, negotiation, and general judgement tasks, and showed that exposure to these relatively low-intensity disrespectful behaviors can potentially have life or death consequences.

How Witnessing Rudeness Can Disrupt Psycho‐Motor Performance of Dental Students

Journal of Dental Education | Andrew Woolum, Luisa F. Echeto, Binyamin Cooper, Jake Gale, Amir Erez, Joseph Katz, Marcio Guelmann, Roy G. Jerrell, Panagiotis Zoidis

While exposure to negative behaviors is thought to primarily impact cognitive decision-making processes, a study conducted in a dentistry setting showed that exposure to rude behavior extends beyond cognitive impacts to also impair psychomotor skills (i.e., skills related to physical movement).

Communicating Commitment: A Relationship-Protection Account of Dyadic Displays on Social Media

Personality and Social Psychology Bulletin |  Kori L. Krueger,  Amanda L. Forest

People often make their relationships visible to others on social media sites. Our work suggests that romantically-involved people use dyadic displays to make their relationships visible due to a strong motivation to protect their relationships from interference. Furthermore, dyadic displays also serve a relationship-protective function: They signal that one is in a high-quality relationship and will be unreceptive to romantic advances from others.

Facilitating and Motivating Support: How Support‐Seekers Can Affect the Support They Receive in Times of Distress

Social and Personality Psychology Compass | Amanda L. Forest, Rebecca M. Walsh, Kori L. Krueger

This paper explores the role that support-seekers play in eliciting support. We describe how behaviors enacted by the support-seeker can facilitate (or hinder) providers’ ability to provide high-quality support and motivate (or de-motivate) support provision efforts.

Psychological Safety in Intensive Care Unit Rounding Teams 

Annals of the American Thoracic Society | Matthew A. Diabes, Jennifer N. Ervin, Billie S. Davis, Kimberly J. Rak, Taya R. Cohen, Laurie R. Weingart, Jeremy M. Kahn

In the high-stakes environment of the Intensive Care Unit (ICU), the difference between speaking up and shutting down can significantly impact team effectiveness and quality of care. In this study of healthcare providers in 12 ICUs, results showed that ICU team members whose leaders were more inclusive in their leadership style experienced greater feelings of psychological safety to speak up, while those who experienced higher levels of job strain experienced less psychological safety.
