Description
Summary:Orientations toward interpersonal arguing were systematically assessed in Argentina in this article. Several hundred university-connected respondents self-reported their motivations, understandings, and emotional reactions for face-to-face arguing. Comparisons were made to earlier investigations in Mexico and Chile. We found that Argentinian, Mexican, and Chilean orientations were identifiably different. Argentinian men and women often had different orientations, as was also the case in Mexico and Chile (but not in all other nations studied in this global project). Older Argentinian respondents were less aggressive and less interested in arguing than younger ones. Arguing motivations generally reproduced the U.S. correlational patterns, which was not as clearly the case in Mexico and Chile. Early reports on the connections between the standard orientation variables and both power distance and workplace arguing are also reported, and show points of interest.
