The desired association with argumentative or nonargumentative individuals in inter-personal relationships was assessed using the Infante and Rancer (1982) Scale of Argumentativeness. Seven potential areas of social interaction were presented to college students ( N = 420) to judge their likelihood of desired interaction with an argumentative or nonargumentative person. Factor analysis revealed two primary dimensions: social-emotional , involving heavy reliance on social interaction, and negotiator/ombudsman , requiring interaction where one might serve as agent for another. Results indicated that these 2 dimensions account for almost half (48%) the variance of the decisional structure used in opting to associate with argumentative or nonargumentative others. There was a preference for association with a nonargumentative person in situations, which are low in conflict and nonaggressive. Also, males and females respond in a similar fashion in reporting their preferences to associate with argumentative or nonargumentative persons in various interpersonal situations.
