The conflict resolution strategy that involves a neutral third party who helps both sides reach a mutually agreeable solution is known as mediation. Arbitration is a conflict resolution strategy where a third party makes a final decision for both sides. Compromising involves both sides giving up something to reach a solution. Cooperative problem solving is a conflict resolution strategy where both sides work together to find a solution. However, in mediation, the neutral third party helps both sides negotiate and find a mutually acceptable solution without making a final decision for them.
