Media effects and communication bias in diverse groups

Article Abstract:

An analysis of media influences in communication bias reveals that electronic media produces less communication bias than other media when dealing with diverse groups. A high level of differential attention bias and differential emotion bias in face-to-face communication that is reduced significantly in electronic media is also revealed. Electronic media do not produce much bias even with the outright identification of involved social groups.

Conveying more (or less) than we realize: the role of impression management in feedback-seeking

Article Abstract:

Two studies about impression management, impression formation and feedback-seeking are evaluated. The first study indicates that observed people sought less feedback and conditioned their feedback-seeking frequency by situational norms. The second study reveals that exceptional individuals seek more feedback. In the second case, observers enhance their evaluation of people by feedback seeking.

"Fixed pie" a la mode: information availability, information processing, and the negotiation of suboptimal agreements

Article Abstract:

The effects of information availability and information processing on negotiations are analyzed. Results show that about 25% of negotiators failed to determine their opponent's preference structure due to their inadequate evaluation of information. Negotiators with 'fixed pie' expectations also obtained poorer negotiation outcomes compared to those with mixed motive expectations.
