reflects your opinion. You will notice that some of the questions are similar to one another; this is
primarily to ensure the validity and reliability of the questionnaire. Please simply answer each
question independently, without reference to any of the other questions.
Important: If you encounter a particular question that is not applicable to your negotiation, simply
circle “NA.” Even if you did not reach agreement, please try to answer as many questions as
possible.
