Group polarization is a phenomenon where individuals in a group tend to adopt more extreme attitudes or make more extreme decisions than they would make individually. It is not associated with moderate decisions (choice A), as the group dynamic often leads to individuals feeling more confident and emboldened to express more extreme views. Additionally, group polarization does not necessarily make decisions less clear (choice C) because the group may have strong and focused opinions on the decision at hand. Lastly, group polarization does not result in decisions that are more individualized (choice D), as the group dynamic often leads to conformity and a desire to match the opinions of others in the group.
