Abstract
The study compared the decision-making patterns of professional arbitr ators and nonprofessionals, using hypothetical final-offer arbitration cases. The results showed: first, there appeared to be no individual differences among professional arbitrators, while their counterparts c onsistently showed individual differences; second, nonprofessionals pl aced more emphasis on the comparability standards in decisions than pr ofessional arbitrators. This study raises questions about the validity of previous research.
