Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Group polarization refers to the phenomenon where after discussing an issue, the consensus of the group is likely to shift to a more extreme version of what the group members initially leaned toward. This means that if individuals in a group initially have a slight preference for a risky decision, after discussion, the group as a whole is likely to adopt an even riskier stance.
