This article analyzes the role that is played by affect in negotiations. I analyze the origins of affect and its implications for negotiation processes and outcomes. Negotiation may entail both positive and negative affect; in addition, the two kinds of affect may have positive as well as negative consequences. My analysis of the role played by affect occurs primarily at the level of the dyad; however, I do explore the impact of organizational context and its impact on the development of the negotiation process. Implications for future research are discussed.
