Part 1. Definition
The input is taken from a negotiation between two participants who take the role of campsite neighbors and negotiate for Food, Water, and Firewood packages, based on their individual preferences and requirements. Given an utterance and recent dialogue context containing past 3 utterances (wherever available), output Yes if the utterance contains the self-need strategy, otherwise output No. self-need is a selfish negotiation strategy. It is used to create a personal need for an item in the negotiation, such as by pointing out that the participant sweats a lot to show preference towards water packages.
Part 2. Example
Context: 'That sounds pretty reasonable as I am in need of firewood the most. Would it be most reasonable to each take what we need most and split the water down the middle?' 'Yes, it would.' 'I think that sounds fair. The problem is that there are 3 waters and one of us would get two and the other one. How should we sort that?'
Utterance: 'You can take the two water. I am not that thirsty most days.'
Answer: No
Explanation: In this utterance, the participant does not use self-need since they do not talk about any need for themselves.
Part 3. Exercise
Context: 'We didn't get unemployment or a stimulus check. ☹️ We are planning a trip to Missouri, Lake of the Ozarks. Our younger children have been cooped up so long we are hoping to let them get some sun and swimming in!' 'That sounds nice, maybe everyone just needs some fun to stay positive about everything. We're going camping along a lake and plan to do a lot of fishing. My husband got these filtration thingies so that we can drink the lake water but I don't really trust them. This will be my kid's first ever camping trip so we're super excited to make it fun for him.' 'We have 7 people in our family,.. the youngest two kids have hardly been anywhere because of working. I think our camping area has those old fashioned hand pumps.☹️'
Utterance: 'Your two youngest kids are working? How old is everyone? If there's a lot of people, it will be easier to split up the duties and get things done. My son's 3 years old so as much as he's eager to help, there's not much he can do lol.'
Answer:
Yes
