The efforts of 125 community mediators in the People's Republic of China were investigated via interviews on 2 mediations each -- 1 in a community, & 1 in a family dispute -- indicating the frequency with which they used 33 mediation techniques. In family cases, mediators relied more heavily on the techniques of separating the parties, getting assistance from third parties, calling for empathy, stating the other side's point of view, & utilizing logic. In family cases, 3 distinct strategies were found -- separate, analyze together, & criticize; in community mediations, only 2 were found -- reason together & criticize. 5 Tables, 30 References.
