The paper reports the recent research of N.EA team conducted within the research project supported by Polish National Science Center (project number 2016/21/B/HS4/01583) entitled „Supporting bilateral negotiations including the effect of heuristic based thinking and cognitive limitations of negotiators”, in which the N.EA coordinator, prof. Tomasz Wachowicz is one of the principal investigators. In the paper some cognitive limitations and typical errors were analyzed, that may occur during planning, organizing and analyzing the results of bilateral negotiation experiments. Some factors influencing the results are discussed, the interpretation of which is not so evident as may appear while designing such an experiment. Among others, the notions of various levels of culture is discussed, such as national culture, organizational culture and students group culture. Some external factors are also discussed, that are related to the technical issues of organizing the experiments by different teachers or coordinators, such as individual instructions ad the language in which they are communicated, personality of the instructor, university customs and regulations etc.
