Emotion and Reason “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
“Emotion and feeling, along with thecovert physiological machinery underlyingthem, assist us with the daunting task of predicting an uncertain future and planning our actions accordingly.” p.139
Primary: unbidden, gut responses to threat. Secondary: drawing on recollections and categorizations in the higher parts of our brains. “those thoughts and feelings which, by [a man’s] own choice, or from the structure of his own mind, arise in him without immediate external excitement.” (Wordsworth) Emotions
‘Since the triggers of emotion and the triggers of perceived conflict are the same to recognize that someone is in conflict is to acknowledge that he has been triggered emotionally.’ Jones, 2005

“Never apologize for showing feeling. When you do so, you apologize for the truth.” Benjamin Disraeli
