| Abstract: | A large field study explored female and male mediators' (hereafter as: mdtrs.) perceptions of their jobs, with special focus on their attitudes toward mediation styles lying on the continuum btw. instrumental and transformative. Female mdtrs. are supposed to be more transformative and less instrumental in their practice than their male peers. Using both qualitative and quantitative methods, the content of 20 in-depth interviews are formulated into an extensive questionnaire, answered by a representative sample of almost 190 Israeli mdtrs. Compared with their male counterparts, female mdtrs. are found to be more transformative, but no less instrumental, in their view of mediation's orientation and goals. Women were also somewhat more facilitative in preferred style, while male mdtrs. were somewhat more directive. In addition, also additional intriguing gender differences were found. |
