These experiences are discussed from the standpoint ofthe roles of analyst-consultant and mediator-conciliator. Fiveresearch-practice areas are viewed through the lens of the former role:  alliance dynamics, issue re-framing, sourcesof conflict, procedural justice, and turning points. Three areas are discussedfrom the latter perspective:  goals andmotivations, cognitive and motivational biases, and relationship development.Each theme is organized into three parts that illuminate the value of researchknowledge for practices at both a macro and micro level of analysis: research,practical applications, and lessons learned for practice.  Implications of the lessons for bridging theresearch-practice gap are explored in a concluding section. Both complementaryand synergistic insights emerge from the reflections.<b><o:p></o:p></b></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:0in;margin-bottom:.0001pt;line-height:200%"><br></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:0in;margin-bottom:.0001pt;line-height:200%"><b><span style="font-size:12.0pt;line-height:200%;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif">Key Words</span></b><span style="font-size:12.0pt;line-height:200%;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif"> <o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:0in;margin-bottom:.0001pt;line-height:200%"><font face="Arial, sans-serif"><span style="font-size: 16px;">analyst, conflict analysis, mediator, micro and macro levels, negotiation, research-practice interface, conciliation</span></font></p>}, month = {4}, keywords = {analyst,concilator,conflict analysis,micro and macro levels,negotiation,research-practice interface}, issn = {1750-4716}, publisher={Carnegie Mellon University Library Publishing Service}, journal = {Negotiation and Conflict Management Research} }
