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: 'I'm sure we can come up with a compromise! I understand the need for extra food with exercise. Sometimes I get low blood sugar and need an extra snack. I'll give you 2 food if I can get 1.' 'I think that is a totally fair split for the food. And I actually don't need a lot of firewood. I would be willing to give you all of it in exchange for the water.' 'I think so, too. I'm glad you offered that - we got stuck in the rain and need the firewood to dry our clothes. I'd be more than happy to give you all the water for all the firewood.'
Utterance: 'Great! I get dehydrated very easily, so I am pretty jumpy at the thought of running out! 🙂'
Answer:
No
