Women's relatively worse performance in negotiation is often cited as an explanation for gender differences in advancement and pay within organizations. We review key findings from the past twenty years of research on gender differences in negotiation. Women do underperform relative to men in...

Scholars have assumed that trust is fragile: difficult to build and easily broken. We demonstrate, however, that in some cases trust is surprisingly robust — even when harmful deception is revealed, some individuals maintain high levels of trust in the deceiver. In this paper, we describe how...

We examined whether gender differences in the perceived ease of being misled predict the likelihood of being deceived in distributive negotiations. Study 1 (N = 131) confirmed that female negotiators are perceived as more easily misled than male negotiators. This perception corresponded with...

We demonstrate that implicit beliefs influence trust. In an experiment, we induced one of two types of implicit beliefs: entity beliefs about negotiation ability (a belief that negotiation ability is fixed over time), and incremental beliefs about negotiation ability (a belief that negotiation...

We present two experiments that explore how endorsing the belief that innate ability differences apply to men and women affects performance in mixed-motive negotiations. In contrast to stereotype lift (Walton & Cohen, 2003), which predicts a benefit for positively stereotyped negotiators, we...

We explored the relationship between counterfactual thinking and the construction of integrative negotiation agreements. Building on past research demonstrating that counterfactual mind-sets promote a structured imagination (Kray, Galinsky, & Wong, 2006), we hypothesized that priming a...

We hypothesized that the activation of a counterfactual mind-set minimizes group decision errors that result when a group relies on its members to share uniquely held information. In two experiments, groups were exposed to one of two pre-task scenarios in which the salience of counterfactual...

This research systematically investigates a variety of potential remedial actions that an organization can undertake to restore justice and avoid litigation after the unfair termination of an employee. Specifically, we draw upon relational and instrumental models of organizational justice and...

We hypothesized that the distribution of resources in a mixed-gender negotiation would depend on the relative power advantage of men versus women, as well as the manner in which gender stereotypes were activated in the minds of negotiators. More specifically, we expected negotiators who had a...
