Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Group polarization occurs when individuals’ attitudes become more extreme after discussing an issue with a group of like-minded individuals. In this case, since Luka believes expanding is a good idea and Will disagrees, after discussing the issue with each other and possibly other colleagues, they are likely to become more entrenched in their original positions, resulting in both men believing more strongly in their original positions. Therefore, choice D is the best answer.
