We constantly make decisions in life by determining our preferences and choosing among alternatives. How do we make decisions What are the rules that guide us How do we negotiate We consider how the way we gather information affects our judgment, and how the way we frame problems affects our perceptions and the solutions to the problems. We also consider intuitive predictions and consider the way we learn from our experience. While this course focuses on individual decision making and communication, we also learn about the negotiation of a joint outcome and how the biases of an individual affect the process. B. Keysar.

The goal of this course is to understand the structure of different negotiations and the psychology that governs their processes and outcomes. We observe how trust, reciprocity, fairness, cooperation, and competition can affect our ability to benefit from an exchange or contribute to the escalation of conflict. To better understand the psychology behind the negotiation process, students learn through engaging in negotiation and relating these experiences to research findings. B. Keysar. Spring.
