Reviews

Written for undergraduates and researchers alike, this concise and impressive book contains adult, adolescent, long, and short versions of the Argumentativeness and Verbal Aggressiveness scales, and twelve well-written and thoroughly researched chapters. If studying these traits ever becomes a religion, this book will be its bible! (Charles J. Wigley III, Canisius College) Rancer and Avtgis provide a comprehensive examination of argumentativeness and verbal aggressiveness. The breadth of contextual explorations and the depth with which they capture the nature and application of these constructs are impressive, making this book an essential resource handbook for students and scholars alike. (Rachel DiCioccio, University of Rhode Island)
