	Polarization (psychology) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		In communications and psychology, polarization is the process whereby a social or political group is divided into two opposing sub-groups with fewer and fewer members of the group remaining neutral or holding an intermediate position.
		When polarization occurs, there is a tendency for the opposing sides of an argument to make increasingly disagreeable statements, via the "pendulum effect".
		Also called 'group polarization'; used to be called the 'risky shift phenomenon', with particular reference to jury decision-making.

		Recent theoretical work in the psychology of men suggests that the negative consequences associated with traditional male gender role (i.e., increased interpersonal and intrapersonal distress)men might suffer fewer consequences associated with their male gender r might be lessened for men whoole if they experienced a sense of friendship and social support.
		The purpose of this study was to: (a) determine if 103 male psychology interns would behave similarly and turn against their supervisors, or as a function of their lack of power in the supervisory relationship, respond with the turning-against-self defensive style; and (b) assess the impact of supervisor sex on this behavior.
		This article examines the findings of several reviews of the empirical literature on biological sex and emotion; focusing on the degree to which perceived sex differences in emotionality are, and in most cases are not, supported while at the same time addressing the implications this body of research has for counseling psychologists.

		From a target’s in-group perspective, both groups rated the causes of behavior as more stable, controllable and rational, and less subjective and less influenced by others than the respective group did from their own perspective.
		Although the results were not consistent for all rating scales and all perspectives, the study demonstrates that a false polarization effect occurs in explanations of attitudinal behavior.

		The results of this study showed that polarization of attitudes is not a common result of exposure to mixed evidence, although this effect is present for a relatively small number of people.
		Finally, attitude polarization should be considered separately from attitude change from a near-neutral to more moderate position (labeled "articulating a position" by the authors of the study).

		To summarize, of the four traditional attribution dimensions, the false polarization effect appears in the stability of causes and the actors' control of the causes of attitudinal behavior.
		One may speculate that it is the evaluative connotation of a rating dimension, which triggers the false polarization effects in estimating in-group and out-group ratings, and this perhaps contributes to group-serving biases in general.
		Moreover, the false polarization effect may put additional pressure on group leaders/representatives, who may be reluctant to make concessions in negotiations, fearing discontent of their in-group members.

	Polarization
		The manifestation of a highly polarized thought can occur through motivated action or passive synchronicity or (usually) a combination of both. Ultimately the intentional energy is what sparks the chain of events leading to the eventual manifestation.
		What’s the relationship between polarization and your level of consciousness? While people often bias their descriptions of those levels to favor love orientation, it’s entirely possible to have a fear orientation at any level as well.
		Once you begin favoring a single energetic polarity, the feedback you receive will encourage you to keep heading in the same direction. This is because the energetic feedback will eventually align itself with your dominant polarity. In essence when you use fear energy, you’ll attract more reasons to use it. The same goes for love energy.

		All subjects were psychology majors from the same university, therefore the in-group was psychology majors from another university and the out-group was ancient history majors from the same university.
		Group polarization is the tendency for a group discussion to cause group members to develop more extreme opinions on the issues discussed such that they polarize in a direction.
		The results of the three experiments suggest that (1) self-categorization can be an important component in social influence and (2) the extent of informational and normative influence depends on whether the source of influence is a member of an individual's own group or of a different group.

		The results should be consistent with group polarization: those who initially agreed should agree more strongly after group discussion, and those who initially disagreed should disagree even more strongly after group discussion.
		According to Gray, asking your students to speculate about the causes of the effect should generate the same explanations generated by psychologists over the years (i.e., that members are exposed to new, persuasive arguments, and that members gradually take a more extreme position in order to be viewed positively by others).
		An added benefit is that, in addition to learning the group polarization effect in a memorable way, students learn that they can successfully "think like psychologists" in generating plausible explanations for observed events.

		More accurately, Shweder (1990) identified cultural psychology as a “reemerging discipline.” Bruner (1990) expressed a similar sentiment when he spoke of the reappearance of “the great psychological questions,” suggesting the importance of examining the historical underpinnings of cultural psychology within general psychology.
		Wundt's cultural psychology was referred to as "the second psychology" and folk psychology (Volkerpsychologie), placing psychology within the cultural sciences in contrast to the traditional scientific and clinical psychology of the laboratory ("the first psychology").
		Although both cultural psychology and postmodern ideas were certainly foreshadowed by these early theorists, the existence of cultural psychology was only hypothetical in the West until relatively recently where it has resurfaced in the work of Bruner (1990, 1996), Cole (1996), Rogoff (1990, 1994), Shweder (1990), Lave and Wenger (1991), and Wenger (1999) among others.

		Society does this so early and so thoroughly by constructing whole social institutions around it--say, a workplace that has no equal coverage for female medical conditions--that we mistake female disadvantage for neutrality and assume it is the way things must be.

		Two variables hypothesized to affect the thought/polarization relationship were examined: the cognitive tuning set (Zajonc, 1960) given to the person prior to thinking, and individual differences in the ability to generate associations.
		It was hypothesized that an expectation to provide information to another would, by the required structuring of the material, induce more polarization with thought than would a set which induced an expectation to receive information.
		The data showed that thinking did not produce a polarization of evaluation compared with a distraction condition, contrary to hopothesis, but that the tuning sets enabled the subjects who were relatively more capable of generating associations to avoid depolarization after thought.
