Module 5 : Practice quiz:Mediation and Conflict Resolution (Negotiation, Mediation and Conflict Resolution Specialization) Answers 2026

Question 1

According to research, a mediator can gain three types of rewards. Which one is NOT among them?

• ❌ A reward through the process itself, be it successful or not

• ❌ A reward if the parties commit to an agreement

• ✅ A reward stemming from the content of the agreement itself

Explanation

Mediators are rewarded by the process, recognition, and successful commitment, but they do not benefit from or own the substance/content of the agreement, which must remain the parties’ outcome.

Question 2

What do countries, inter-governmental organisations, NGOs and former politicians have in common in their interest to act as mediators?

• ✅ They gain status, recognition, influence and visibility.

• ❌ They will unquestionably be called upon again in other crises

• ❌ They gain financial reward

Explanation

The primary shared incentive is symbolic and political capital (status, legitimacy, influence), not guaranteed future roles or direct financial gain.
