• In Event: Competitive Papers in Forensics and Argumentation

Abstract

This study analyzes the differences in argumentativeness between France and Britain. A total of 521 individuals in France (n = 244) and Britain (n = 277) participated in this study. Results indicate British Christians had a lower level of argumentativeness than French Christians. Age, religiosity, and education were nonsignificant predictors of argumentativeness in France. However, in Britain, these variables predicted 57 % of argumentativeness.
