5. Thou Shalt Not Squander Life – Comparing Five Approaches to Argument Strength

Abstract

Different approaches analyze the strength of a natural language argument in different ways. This paper contrasts the dialectical, structural, probabilistic (or Bayesian), computational, and empirical approaches by exemplarily applying them to a single argumentative text (Epicureans on Squandering Life; Aikin & Talisse, 2019). Rather than pitching these approaches against one another, our main goal is to show the room for fruitful interaction. Our focus is on a dialectical analysis of the squandering argument as an argumentative response that voids an interlocutor’s right to assertion. This analysis addresses the pragmatic dimensions of arguing and implies an argument structure that is consistent with empirical evidence of perceived argument strength. Results show that the squandering argument can be evaluated as a (non-fallacious) ad hominem argument, which however is not necessarily stronger than possible arguments attacking it.

37. Similarity Index: A simple measure for an empirical construct’s predictive adequacy

Author

Witte, Erich, Stanciu, Adrian, and Zenker, Frank

Subjects
model selection, Meehl, theory prediction, effect size, hypothesis testing, similarity index, prediction, measurement error
Abstract

This index compares a theoretical predicted effect size to the empirically observed effect size. The Similarity Index is valuable because nothing but the similarity between a point-specific theoretical effect size and a point-specific empirical effect size can inform researchers with sufficient precision about the adequacy of a theoretical construct.

42. Predicted as observed? How to identify empirically adequate theoretical constructs

Author

Witte, Erich H., Stanciu, Adrian, Zenker, Frank, Witte, Erich H., Stanciu, Adrian, and Zenker, Frank

Abstract

The identification of an empirically adequate theoretical construct requires determining whether a theoretically predicted effect is sufficiently similar to an observed effect. To this end, we propose a simple similarity measure, describe its application in different research designs, and use computer simulations to estimate the necessary sample size for a given observed effect. As our main example, we apply this measure to recent meta-analytical research on precognition. Results suggest that the evidential basis is too weak for a predicted precognition effect of d = 0.20 to be considered empirically adequate. As additional examples, we apply this measure to object-level experimental data from dissonance theory and a recent crowdsourcing hypothesis test, as well as to meta-analytical data on the correlation of personality traits and life outcomes., Die Autor*innen schlagen ein simples Ähnlichkeitsmaß vor, beschreiben seine Anwendung in verschiedenen Forschungsdesigns und verwenden Computersimulationen, um die erforderliche Stichprobengröße für einen bestimmten beobachteten Effekt zu schätzen.

50. Goals and functions of public argumentation

Author

Zenker, Frank, Zenker, Frank, Laar, van, Jan Albert, Zenker, Frank, Zenker, Frank, and Laar, van, Jan Albert

Abstract

This position paper of Working Group 2 of the European Network for Argumentation and Public Policy Analysis (COST Action CA17132; https://publicpolicyargument.eu) reviews goals and functions of public argumentation. Drawing on a variety of disciplines, the paper introduces basic distinctions and charts out options. It is meant to guide reflection on the conceptual basis for the Action’s subsequent research regarding the analysis, evaluation, and design of public argumentation.
