Face negotiation theory

Face-Negotiation Theory is a theory first proposed by Stella Ting-Toomey in 1985 to understand how different cultures throughout the world respond to conflict. The theory posits “face”, or self-image, as a universal phenomenon that pervades across cultures. In conflicts, one’s face is threatened; and thus the person tends to save or restore his or her face. This set of communicative behaviors, according to the theory, is called “facework” . Since people frame the situated meaning of “face” and enact “facework” differently from one culture to the next, the theory poses a cultural-general framework to examine facework negotiation.
