The other's resistance point varies inversely with the perceived value the first party attaches to an outcome. Knowing that a position is important to the other party , you will expect the other to resist giving up on that issue; thus, there should be less possibility of a favorable settlement in that area. As a result, you may lower your expectations to a more modest resistance point. hence, the more you can convince the other that you value a particular outcome outside the other's bargaining range, the more pressure you put on the other party to set a more modest resistance point with regard to that outcome
