“…Consistent with this point are two observations made by Brockriede (1975): "arguments are not in statements, but in people" (p.179), and, "argument is a human process" (p.179). It should also be readily acknowledged that few aspects of· human cognition and behaviour are without purpose, and we maintain that arguments are no exception.…”

Informal logic has expanded the concept of an 'argument' beyond that presented traditionally by formal logicians-to include arguments as encountered in 'real-life'. Existent definitions of argument structure are argued to be inadequate by failing to fully recognise that, ultimately, arguments have a human source. Accordingly, a new definition is proposed which appeals to relevant cognitive and behavioural factors. THe definition retains some traditional concepts, but introduces the term 'supportive' as a modification to 'premiss'. The concept of a 'persuader' is also developed. The definition is argued to capture more fully the intricacies, subtleties and rich diversity of informal arguments.

“…Such a frame involves some form of open, goal-directed conversation or ''dialogue'' between decisionmakers, experts and other stakeholders, which may create favourable conditions for the exchange of diverging arguments. It should be noted, however, that people with diverging arguments can only communicate meaningfully if their frames overlap to a certain degree (Brockriede, 1992).…”

“…Furthermore, this area of research could provide useful information for scholars of rhetoric or informal logic. These argumentative situations represent the reservoirs of everyday rhetoric, the places where arguments take form (Brockriede 1974), and highlight what individuals perceive as urgencies of situational rhetoric (Bitzer 1968).…”

Factors Predicting the Intent to Engage in Arguments in Close Relationships: A Revised Model

2016

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

This manuscript examines argument engagement in close relationships (friendships and romantic relationships). Two pilot studies were conducted to identify what factors naïve actors report matter to them when considering whether to engage in an interpersonal argument, and to develop and pre-test measurement scales for these factors. The main study examined which of these factors predicted participants' behavioral intent to engage in an argument about different topics (personal or public) and with different partners (friend or romantic partner). Results indicated intent to engage was predicted by five factors: one's orientation to the topic, one's preparedness for an argument, the costs of arguing, the effort involved in arguing, and one's right to speak one's mind. Several of these factors are new contributions to argument engagement research. A discussion of these results and their implications are presented.
