Psychology is a basic tool for all mediators in respect to influence decisions of other individuals. Their observations and hypothesis offer expedient tools for professionals. They can use these gears for business negotiations, scales, and stimuli. With the help of psychological tactics and trappings, mediators guide parties and professionals to achieve strength, clarity of thoughts, the power of negotiation and self-confidence.
Sometimes while coaching, a barrier of consistency occurs. It is difficult for mediators to alter ideas and concepts of professionals or individuals they are dealing with. Parties often become litigant about their decisions.
Today’s mediators have changed their way of doing. They have learned the art of slight negotiation known as “interest-based- negotiation”. It provides a way to find common ground between both parties (mediator and individual).
