Unconscious Assumptions and Biases in Mediation Presented by the Mediation Society
September 28, 2023 | 1:00 pm - 5:00 pm PDT
2 units Elimination of Bias and 1 unit General
Description:
Underlying every stage of the mediation process are hidden assumptions and biases which often go unexamined:
- Settlement negotiations should focus on objective criteria and outcome predictions
- Participants are rational actors looking out for their own economic interests
- Mediators should persuade, cajole, argue, twist arms, etc. in the same way regardless of a person’s sex, race, national origin, age, sexual orientation, or other characteristics
- It is not the job of the mediator to call out prejudice or bias in the mediation
