ABSTRACT More than three decades of research on argumentativeness demonstrates that different cultures value differently this aspect of communication. Studies have evaluated levels of argumentativeness in numerous national cultures. This is the first study to explore levels of argumentativeness in Kyrgyzstan. Along with exploring the position of Kyrgyzstan on the argumentativeness continuum, this study also explores the validity and reliability of the Argumentativeness Scale in Kyrgyzstan. Results from 100 Kyrgyzstanis reveal that Kyrgyzstan scores relatively low on the argumentativeness continuum compared to argumentativeness scores from studies conducted in neighboring Asian countries. Furthermore, the sample produced a reliable and valid measure of argumentativeness in Kyrgyzstan.

吉尔吉斯斯坦议论性探析

摘要 超过三年的辩论研究表明，不同的文化对交流的这一方面的重视程度不同。研究评估了许多民族文化中的辩论水平。这是第一项探讨吉尔吉斯斯坦争论程度的研究。在探讨吉尔吉斯斯坦在论证连续性中的地位的同时，本研究还探讨了吉尔吉斯斯坦论证量表的有效性和可靠性。来自 100 名吉尔吉斯斯坦人的结果显示，与在邻国亚洲国家进行的研究的辩论得分相比，吉尔吉斯斯坦在辩论连续性上的得分相对较低。此外，该样本在吉尔吉斯斯坦产生了一个可靠和有效的争论性衡量标准。
