Abstract

The question whether and how initial trust of the negotiators develops during negotiations leading to spill-over effects eventually influencing negotiation outcomes is important for negotiation research and practice. Therefore, we present initial results of a negotiation experiment involving students from 3 European universities showing effects of initial trust regarding ex post trust, outcome effectiveness, efficiency, and satisfaction of the negotiators. The trusting beliefs of the negotiator making the first offer exert a strong influence on the evolving negotiation.
