👉 A concept in psychology that suggests individuals may exhibit a tendency to be overly critical or critical of themselves, others, or situations due to a lack of understanding or information. This can manifest as a tendency to question or doubt the validity of evidence or arguments presented, leading to an overemphasis on facts and details rather than evaluating the situation itself. Overcontentiousness is often characterized by a heightened sense of personal importance, a desire for control, and an avoidance of compromise or ambiguity in decision-making processes.
