  • Selective Application: Effective in close relationships but not in situations like zero-sum negotiations. Risk of misuse exists through exaggeration of feelings.
  • Decision Process: Disputes are resolved by rating feelings on a 1 to 10 scale, with the higher score generally taking precedence. Scores of 8 or higher from both parties require deeper discussion.
  • Enhancing Bonds: Used intermittently, this method has improved communication and strengthened bonds in relationships, allowing less important issues to be let go without discussion.
