The role of the psychologist in crisis/hostage negotiations

Examining the functions of prison critical incidents: a preliminary qualitative analysis of public reporting

“…This does fit with previous research that has noted incidents to be motivated by perceived likely gains (e.g. Hatcher et al , 1998). Negative reinforcement is, nonetheless, a difficult variable to ascertain from collateral information alone and arguably benefits more from a detailed exploration of the internal and external consequences of an action with the perpetrator(s) directly.…”

“…This would seem consistent with research suggesting that poor coping is a factor that could drive the decision to commit/become actively involved in a crisis-incident (e.g. Ireland et al, 2015;Hatcher et al, 1998;McMains, 1993), but the suggestion of focusing on the wider peer group and their willingness to support a potential incident is a novel one.…”

Underpinning this is also the importance of exploring beliefs supporting violence use, which appeared evidenced in both hostage taking and riots when background factors were considered.…”

Development and Validation of a Role-Play Test for Assessing Crisis (Hostage) Negotiation Skills

“…Overall, the present results are consistent with the current emphasis on empathic listening and effective communication, hallmarks of crisis intervention in general and, more recently, crisis negotiation in particular (Hatcher, Mohandie, Turner, & Gelles, 1998). For example, differences in rates of paraphrasing and emotional labeling, important elements in social relationship development, were dramatic between expert and nonexpert negotiators in the present investigation.…”

Crisis (Hostage) Negotiation Training

“…In addition, rates of problem solving significantly decreased at post-test. These findings are particularly encouraging in light of the current emphasis on empathic listening and effective communication, hallmarks of crisis intervention in general, and more recently, crisis negotiation, in particular (Hatcher et al, 1998). According to McMains and Mullins (2001), "Active listening skills are fundamental to negotiations.…”
