Descriptions of the turns [according to Kolb (2004)]
| Turn | Description | Example |
|---|---|---|
| Interruption | Disrupting a move by a short pause in the action. It can help a negotiator to regain control, for instance | (Since participants could have multiple negotiations simultaneously, we ignored the time periods between messages in our analysis.) |
| Naming | Naming a move signals recognition that you know what is happening and suggests that you will not be fooled | If you had [CarCerti], you would not offer me 12,500. |
| Questioning | Questioning a move shows that something about it is not understood. It is thrown back at the other person to imply that the negotiator is unsure what prompted it | And not even a warranty on the engine. How can I be sure? |
| Correcting | Correcting a move with an improving turn substitutes a motivation or different version implied by the move and can neutralize the move | Please look at the full analysis! The car has some added value. |
| Diverting | A redirecting turn directs the focus to the problem. It is a way to ignore the implication of the move and for the negotiator to take control (e.g., distract from the negotiation object’s condition) | What would your final price be if I were to purchase the data? |
| But has a very up-to-date MFK. |
