Abstract

This study investigates the mediations of 127 village leaders ( ketua kampungs ) and 52 religious leaders ( imams ) in Malaysia. These mediators rely heavily on techniques of meeting with disputants (separately and together), listening to the disputant's side, information gathering, and calling for concessions. They also use three distinct strategies: a “meet separately†strategy, an assertive strategy, and a strategy based on information gathering. The imams rely more on prayer, moral principles, listening, and third-party advice and call less often for concessions. Imams use a unique “meet together†strategy and prayer strategy.
