Answer to Question 1

Task functions are those member functions or roles that pertain to directly helping the group solve its task. Examples include asking questions of clarification and suggesting the goal of the group. Maintenance functions on the other hand are those behaviors that help the group grow and improve interpersonal relationships between members. The functions do not directly influence the task of the group. Examples of maintenance functions include encouraging other group members to speak and encouraging members to work more harmoniously with one another.

Answer to Question 2

A negotiator should ask whether the negotiation contains more than one issue (as differences in preferences, beliefs,
and capacities may be profitably traded off); whether other issues can be brought in; whether side deals can be
made; and whether parties have different preferences across negotiation issues.
