Question: Share your Rogerian Argument field test. Proceed in this order:

1. First, what was the occasion of the disagreement (context, background)?

2. Second, describe how you employed these four steps of Rogerian argument with your "adversary" (I prefer the term "partner"). Again, here are the steps you must follow during your conversation with the person: a. Summarize the grievance between you and your partner. b. State your partner's position. Make sure he or she agrees that you've stated correctly his/her position. c. Express empathy / compassion and grant the validity of the person's position. [This is the crucial element of the dialogue, as it builds trust, goodwill, and a bridge toward resolution. State clearly how much you respect and empathize with your partner's position. Do not try to disprove the person here! Supportiveness only.] d. Show how his or her position will be improved if he or she also accepts your position. 3. Finally, how did your partner in the discussion respond? Was the grievance resolved, stayed same, escalated?
