Mediation Styles, Problem Definition, Broad Problem Definition, Narrow Problem Definition, Evaluative Style, Facilitative StyleAbstract
This paper exposes the characteristics of the facilitative and evaluative mediation styles; and the vision that the mediator can adopt on the problem submitted to mediation: broad and narrow. This, it examines the four possible orientations that the mediator can follow: facilitative with a narrow vision of the problem; facilitative with a broad vision of the problem; evaluative with a narrow vision of the problem; and evaluative with a broad vision of the problem. Later, this research identifies the style of mediation and the definition of the problem with greater use in the city of Quito, as well as the ones preferred by the lawyers who attend mediations. To this end, surveys were carried out to both mediators and lawyers from the city of Quito in order to determine the style and vision of the problem to which they are oriented and to identify the current situation of mediation in Quito.
