| Apologies: Apologies involve acknowledging wrongdoing, expressing remorse, and seeking forgiveness. They play a crucial role in repairing relationships. The "Apology Language" theory suggests individuals have unique preferences in how they give and receive apologies, impacting the effectiveness of the apology. Social exchange theory posits that apologies serve as social currency, influencing relationships and cooperation.

Experimental Psychology on Apologies - Dictionary of Arguments
Parisi I 108 Apologies/Experimental Psychology/Wilkinson-Ryan: Apologies are a particularly apt area of study for psychologists because they are crucial to how we deal with interpersonal conflicts outside of the law but are often discouraged in legal conflicts because of their admissibility in court as something like an Parisi I 109 admission of culpability. In Robbennolt (2003)(1), subjects read about a personal injury claim in which a pedestrian was injured in a collision with a bicycle (and its rider). Subjects were asked to indicate how they, in the position of the injured pedestrian, would respond to a particular settlement offer. When there was no apology, 43% reported that they would reject. When a full apology was offered, though, only 14% said they would reject, a significant difference. In follow-up work, Robbennolt (2006)(2) found that apologies affect settlement because they change how plaintiffs understand both the incident and the defendant. When plaintiffs had received an apology, they had lower reservation prices and more defendant-friendly perceptions of the fair outcome. >Settlement bargaining/Experimental Psychology. 1.
