Question: 1 / 400

What does group polarization lead to during group decision-making?

Moderate opinions

Less involved discussions

Shift to a more extreme position

Group polarization refers to the tendency for groups to make decisions that are more extreme or radical than the initial preferences of individual group members. This occurs because group discussions tend to amplify group members' beliefs and attitudes, resulting in a shift to a more extreme position. The other options, such as moderate opinions and less involved discussions, do not accurately describe the effects of group polarization on decision-making. In fact, group polarization typically leads to more intense and involved discussions. Greater individual decision-making may occur, but it is not the main result of group polarization.
