Consider having the mediator meet the disputants prior to the mediation meeting. A neutral party attempts to help the disputants to find a mutually acceptable solution. This strategy focuses on developing mutually beneficial agreements based on the interests of the disputants. Emotional resolution is in the way disputants feel about a conflict, the emotional energy. Many disputants may not wish to prejudice their cases in this manner. Some disputants will not reach agreement through a collaborative process. Readiness is improved when disputants consider the viability of various outcomes. Purportedly, peers can better relate to the disputants than an outsider. Behavioral resolution is reflective of how the disputants act, their behavior. There are also poems ostensibly written by the fictional disputants scattered throughout. Besides the main disputants, a number of secondary writers joined the fray.
