The present study investigated the relationships amoug trait argumentativeness (i.e., one's dispositions to either approach or avoid an argument), argumentative flexibility (i.e. one's disposition to argue in either a flexible or collaborative manner, or an inflexible manner) and self-reported perception of critical thinking dispositions and their impact on critical thinking competence and social tolerance. Results demonstrate a partial support for the effects of argumentative style, in particular trait disposition toward arguing. Findings are then interpreted in a discussion of critical thinking within the context of interpersonal argument.
