Negotiation is a dialogue between two or more parties aimed at resolving differences and achieving mutual agreement. It involves understanding and balancing the needs and wants of all involved to reach a beneficial outcome. This adaptive strategy helps reduce emotional distress by fostering cooperation and communication, essential for healthy relationships and conflict resolution. Negotiation develops as a way to navigate complex social interactions and ensure that everyone's needs are met, often rooted in early attachment experiences where trust and mutual understanding were crucial.
