“If people could always stay perfectly rational and focused on how to best meet their needs and accommodate those of others . . . then many conflicts would either never arise or would quickly deescalate.” Mayer, 2000, p.10
“Negotiators—especially those trained in law—commonly address this problem by trying to exclude emotions from negotiation and to focus solely on so‐called objective, rational factors, such as money.”Riskin, 2010, 294
