This instrumental case study focused on perspective taking in the Oregon Wolf Conservation and Management Plan Process to determine what characterized perspective taking among the participants and what process factors encouraged it. The open coding and thematic analysis of seven meeting audiotapes and 82 interviews with 23 participants revealed three sociopolitical narratives that influenced the dynamics of the process discourse； 1) the urban-rural divide in Oregon, 2) anti-environmentalism, and 3) livestock grazing on federal lands. Participant perspectives primarily included ecological and the deleterious impacts of wolves on livestock and game herds. The preservation of open space and the notion of heritage provided potential common ground. Perspective taking was mostly characterized by acknowledgment and recognition with little reflection and reframing. Much cognitive and scientific perspective taking but little affective perspective taking occurred, and the process was marked by numerous under-maximized and missed opportunities for perspective taking. The dynamics of the process that most influenced perspective taking were eccentricity； attendance； engagement/stake； credibility associated with experience, unbiased knowledge, and behavior； the context of peoples situation； practicality； brevity； civility； reasonableness； willingness to compromise and seek common ground； open-mindedness； moderate in viewpoint； recognition and perspective taking itself； and perspective making. Meals and meeting breaks provided valuable informal social interaction opportunities that helped participants build rapport, develop relationships, and perspective take. The facilitators recall capacity, patience, active listening, and use of the "go-around" method were also productive for perspective taking. This research produced the Explicitness/Otherness Perspective Taking Grid as a tool for use by facilitators and negotiators interested in maximizing perspective taking, expressive caring, and considerability.
