Gender Differences
I was reading my negotiation textbook the other day and came across this interesting section which I think is totally true. Jus wanna share this section with you peeps. For those who are having relationship problems, this might be able to help you.
Women prefer straightforward accommodative solution in conflict of interest problems. They generally seek to compromise and will avoid competition. They tend to be more generous and make greater concessions than do men. HOWEVER, when placed in a vulnerable position, as when they have been exploited, women react with greater retaliation and apparent vindictiveness than do men.
Men tend to use a tit-for-tat strategy more, and tend to be more cooperative in response to a tit-for-tat strategy. Women are more cooperative, if presented with cooperativeness by the other from the beginning, but once crossed, they are less responsive to cooperative gestures. In contrast, when men are presented with a highly cooperative partner from the beginning, they tend to exploit her.
Interesting isn’t it? =)
