Human Centric Approach in Negotiations and Dispute Resolutions Understanding Legal and Psychological Aspects

“To practice the conflict resolution process, we must completely abandon the goal of getting people to do what we want.” The best way to understand and resolve a conflict is to analyse how legal provisions can be connected with the psychological aspects of human beings to provide better outcomes. Exploring the human-centric approach in dispute resolution helps analyse the practical aspects of involving psychological support, such as counselling or therapy, in the traditional legal dispute resolution process and helps enhance the strategies. It aims to evaluate the potential benefits, such as improved emotional well-being and more satisfactory resolutions, as well as its challenges and other benefits. Properly understanding human mindsets during conflict resolution aims to identify and replace traditional practices and help generate new ideas that integrate legal and psychological perspectives to address these challenges, ensuring fair and equitable outcomes for all parties involved. Given the complexity of human mindsets, connecting and understanding legal and psychological grounds is essential to understand the foundation of these conflicts be it any means of dispute resolution. This research paper aims to help mediators and negotiators understand how human psychology can be associated with the relevant legal provisions during dispute resolution processes, which will provide more refined and more balanced results.
