I engineered an adaptation of the networked tile-trading application “Colored Trails” in order to study outcomes of interest-based computer mediated negotiation compared to those of position-based negotiation. I added a layer permitting revelation of goals in the interest-based negotiation protocol, as well as projection of paths possible through hypothetical trades. I had human experiment subjects play tile trade scenarios with each other through collaborators at Harvard University, analyzed the data for outcome differences under goal solicitation/revelation protocols, and modeled likelihood of goal revelation upon solicitation.
