Same as Group polarization
This page is not necessary because the content is the same as that of "Group polarization" — Preceding unsigned comment added by Wonglokking (talk • contribs) 07:44, 24 April 2006‎

Merger proposal
Perhaps this article should be merged with one or both of Attitude polarization and Group polarization. What do others think?--Srleffler (talk) 05:08, 13 March 2015 (UTC)
 * Support - A concur that a merge is appropriate. My suggestion would be that group polarization be the destination article for both other articles, mainly due to that being the dominant terminology in the contemporary literature as far as I am aware. Cheers Andrew (talk) 03:37, 9 July 2015 (UTC)

Hi all, I'm a social psych grad student at UCLA planning to take people up on the suggestion to merge with group polarization. Lmgoldst (talk) 17:04, 17 November 2016 (UTC)


 * While I don't object to this merge, I do have some problem with the discussion, as this appeared to have never been posted at the (former) attitude polarisation article (which I am following) so the first thing I noticed of this was the actual merger. For future cases, please make sure all relevant pages are notified (and that notification is active on all those pages at the time of merger). Thanks. Arnoutf (talk) 12:55, 18 November 2016 (UTC)


 * Hi Artnoutf, thanks for your reply. I'm fairly new to the editing world of Wikipedia, so it's entirely possible my approach didn't adhere to protocol! Thanks for letting me know, I'll be more mindful of that in future. However, I believe there was discussion of the merger on the attitude page prior to the merger, as I did check to see if this was proposed on both pages, and I tried to adhere to the Wiki page on how to complete mergers. Still, I'll keep this feedback in mind moving forward.Lmgoldst (talk) 03:28, 20 November 2016 (UTC)

Proposing Deletion of Page

 * Hi all, after further consideration and after merging the attitude polarization page into the group polarization article, my conclusion is that this page should be deleted, and readers should be redirected to group polarization page. There is no unique information on this page that isn't better explained in the group polarization page; furthermore, this page has minimal basis in research. As polarization in psychology is almost exclusively discussed in the context of groups and attitudes, I'd argue this page is not helpful or unique. What do others think?Lmgoldst (talk) 03:09, 18 November 2016 (UTC)
