We propose hypotheses on the effects of honor versus dignity culture 1) on negotiators’ planning and expectations, 2) in their use of tactical behavior, 3) in their information sharing and the insights that they gain about each other’s economic preferences and priorities, 4) in their economic outcomes and in how they address and resolve issues that are primarily economic and others that engage relational values, and 5) in the way they evaluate their economic outcomes relative to their subjective evaluations of the negotiations. Results show that negotiators from the Qatar – who strongly adhere to norms regarding protection of honor (i.e. not to appear weak and not to let others take advantage of you) – faced major challenges in their challenges in their negotiations. These challenges were setting higher and more unrealistic aspirations, experiencing more negative emot...

For individuals to report potential problems before the disaster, three steps need to occur: he or she needs to recognize an event as a risk, problem, or possible wrongdoing, he or she needs to choose to either speak up, neglect the problem, or leave the organization based on an assessment of the benefits and costs of each alternative, and he or she must take action if speaking up is the chosen response. The organizational silence literature focuses mostly on step 2, where the culture of the organization causes individuals to choose to not speak up even when a problem is recognized. In this paper, we focus on step 1: where characteristics of the organization or the particular problem cause individuals to fail to recognize a problem exists. We first examine the 1998 incident at Wallops Flight Facility where an aircraft crashed during an engine water ingestion test. We then describe a series of behavioral lab experiments conducted to demonstrate how different conditions in the situation can influence the participant's ability to recognize increasing risk in a task.
