Inter- and intra-subjective planes of e-argumentation: Motivation, self-perception, expectations, and actual interlocutory behavior

Research on learning and argumentation traditionally focuses on the (socio-)cognitive dimensions and benefits of argumentative dialogue. The papers which are part of this symposium, however, present recent research on intra-personal, non-cognitive variables and how they affect or are affected by electronic collective argumentation. The data are obtained from both e-discussants as well as e-moderators and pertain to factors such as motivation, self-perception, role definitions and expectations. The three contributions provide information on these factors before, during and after e-discussions and help delving in the dynamics of (moderated) e-argumentation.
