'''Mediators and Mimicry'''
 
A mediator’s success hinges on two important factors: impartiality and rapport. Ironically, the process of establishing rapport can undermine the mediator’s ability to convey a sense of impartiality. Thus, mediators face a dilemma - a dilemma that we believe digital media might be able to help solve. We are how exploring the affordances of [[online dispute resolution]] (ODR) may help mediators strike a delicate balance between developing rapport and maintaining impartiality. One area that is of particular interest to us is digital mimicry. Mimicry is known to elicit a wide variety of favorable responses; using tracking technology and computer algorithms we can make virtual mediators subtly yet perfectly mimic disputants' head movements. We believe our results highlight how the affordances of digital media may revolutionize traditional conceptions of dispute resolution.
