Abstract: This study investigates the mediations of 95 community and 95 industrial mediators in South Korea. The mediators' reports of their last mediation indicated the frequency with which they used 36 mediation techniques. In addition, their information revealed the strategies—data gathering, reconciliation, dependency, analysis—they employed in their mediations. We expected to find the data gathering and reconciliation strategies. Although unexpected, the dependency strategy is very consistent with the Confucian emphasis on interpersonal harmony. And we attribute the analysis strategy to the Korean mediators' low formal power or to their exposure to an industrialized environment.
