“…When reviewing the conceptualizations within the cognition theme, we discovered variety in the way in which scholars talk about the cognitive aspect of conflict personalization. Firstly, conflict personalization is seen as a cognitive experience (Hample et al , 2019), cognitive appraisal (Curran and Allen, 2016) or cognitive reaction (Demir and Hample, 2019; Hample et al , 2021; Santibáñez et al , 2021). Secondly, some refer to expectations (Kim et al , 2020; Worley and Aloia, 2019) and the application of past experiences (Aloia and Worley, 2019; Hample and Cionea, 2010).…”

Purpose Scholars and practitioners alike wish to understand what makes workplace conflict beneficial or injurious to, for example, performance and satisfaction. The authors focus on parties’ personal experience of the conflict, which is complementary to studying conflict issues (i.e. task- or relationship-related conflict). Although many authors discuss the personal experience of conflict, which the authors will refer to as conflict personalization, different definitions are used, leading to conceptual vagueness. Therefore, the purpose of this paper is to develop an integrative definition of the concept of conflict personalization. Design/methodology/approach The authors conducted a systematic literature review to collect definitions and conceptualizations from 41 publications. The subsequent thematic analysis revealed four building blocks that were used to develop an integrative definition of conflict personalization. Findings The authors developed the following definition: Conflict personalization is the negative affective as well as cognitive reaction to the self being threatened and/or in danger as a result of a social interaction about perceived incompatibilities. Practical implications The integrative definition of this study enables the development of a measurement instrument to assess personalization during workplace conflict, paving the way for developing effective research-based interventions. Originality/value Conceptual vagueness hampers theoretical development, empirical research and the development of effective interventions. Although the importance of conflict personalization is mentioned within the field of workplace conflict, it has not been empirically studied yet. This paper can serve as the basis for future research in which conflict issue and personal experience are separated.

“…The current study added Turkish data to the table. Although there have been a few studies addressing the argument orientations of Turkish people (e.g., Demir & Hample, 2019), so far it has been unknown how they respond to argument variations in quality or type. When it comes to type, the Turkish participants were most persuaded by statistical evidence and least by anecdotal evidence.…”

Empirical research has shown that high-quality arguments according to criteria from argumentation theory lead to higher claim acceptance than low-quality arguments. However, this relationship was not observed in some cultural settings. This leads to the question whether criteria for high-quality arguments are culturally variable or universal. Therefore, adding to existing research on sensitivity to quality criteria for the argument from authority and the argument from generalization conducted mainly in Western cultural contexts, an experiment was run in Turkey (N = 307). Results showed that Turkish participants were sensitive to the quality of arguments: claim acceptance was higher when high-quality variants were used than when low-quality variants were used. While not neglecting potential cultural variability, these data add to the findings that there might be some level of universality in sensitivity to criteria for argument quality.

“…Their analysis showed that such arguments were largely expressed in a polite and unemotional fashion and employed by individuals with a range of personality types. Hample has also conducted a wide range of studies into the link between argument styles and national cultures (Demir & Hample 2019;Hample & Anagondahalli 2015;Khomenko & Hample 2019). There is, of course, a world of difference between one's individual background or culture affecting the arguments one employs, and one's argumentation actually being designed to express that identity.…”

Argumentation and Identity: A Normative Evaluation of the Arguments of Delegates to the COP26 UN Climate Change Conference

Arguments may sometimes be advanced with a non-standard function. One such function, it is suggested, is the expression of identity, a practice which may play a significant role in political representation. This paper sets out to examine a number of short addresses given at the High-Level segment of the Cop26 conference, which are considered to contain instances of such argumentation. Their content is analysed and evaluated by means of the Comprehensive Assessment Procedure for Natural Argumentation (CAPNA), and an attempt is made to highlight the purposes of the delegates in addressing the conference. At a more fundamental level, the goal of this work is to assess the possibility of identifying arguments as being meant largely as statements of identity or representation, and the suitability of the CAPNA or other norm-based systems for evaluating such discourse. The speakers studied include representatives from OPEC, the Trade Unions, and the leaders of Vietnam and Liechtenstein. Ultimately, the study concludes that while further work is necessary both on understanding the relationship between argument and identity in the political arena, and on the application of argument norms to representational discourse, evaluations of this kind are meaningful and informative.
