Answer to Question 1

Answer: avoidant

Answer to Question 2

Answer: In terms of the textbook, this question tries to focus the students attention on the CAVE technique of Peterson, et al. (There may be other, clever ways of accomplishing this task.) The CAVE technique needs only pubic statements by the people who are to be subjects of the study. A direct quote, or a radio or T.V. interview will do. In the quote, the subject needs to be explaining the good or bad results of their current negotiations. From this, a trained observer can rate their expression on the three dimensions of internal-external, stable-unstable, and global-specific using 1 to 7 scales similar to the ASQ. Higher scores indicate a more pessimistic explanatory style. This can then be used as a variable to correlate with a rating of success of the negotiations in question. Presumably, the hypothesis would be that high optimism would correlate with or predict greater success in negotiations.
