Group Polarization01:01

Group Polarization

39.3K
Group polarization is the strengthening of an original group attitude following the discussion of views within a group (Teger & Pruitt, 1967). That is, if a group initially favors a viewpoint, after discussion the group consensus is likely a stronger endorsement of the viewpoint. Conversely, if the group was initially opposed to a viewpoint, group discussion would likely lead to stronger opposition.

Bullying

A modern form of aggression is bullying. As you learn in your study of child development, socializing and playing with other children is beneficial for children’s psychological development. However, as you may have experienced as a child, not all play behavior has positive outcomes. Some children are aggressive and want to play roughly. Other children are selfish and do not want to share toys. One form of negative social interactions among children that has become a national concern is...

Groupthink

When in group settings, we are often influenced by the thoughts, feelings, and behaviors around us. Groupthink is another phenomenon of conformity where modification of the opinions of members in a group aligns with what they believe is the group consensus (Janis, 1972). In such situations, the group often takes action that individuals would not perform outside the group setting because groups make more extreme decisions than individuals do. Moreover, groupthink can hinder opposing trains of...

Robbers Cave

During the 1950s, the landmark Robbers Cave experiment demonstrated that when groups must compete with one another, intergroup conflict, hostility, and even violence may result. At the Oklahoman summer camp, two troops of boys—termed the Rattlers and the Eagles—took part in a week-long tournament. During this time, their negativity culminated in derogatory name-calling, fistfights, and even vandalism and destruction of property. However, this work also revealed that such tension...

Social Foundations of Self II: The Generalized Other

322
According to George Herbert Mead, as children progress beyond the game stage, they develop a more comprehensive understanding of societal rules and norms. This cognitive and social development enables them to internalize the expectations of the broader community, refining their ability to regulate behavior.Consistent participation in organized activities is crucial in helping children recognize that their actions are not isolated but contribute to a more significant, interconnected group...

Summary

Consensus in collaborative projects like Wikipedia requires including extreme viewpoints. Banning editors hinders progress, while active discussion, even with controversy, is key to reaching agreement.

Area of Science:

  • Social Sciences
  • Computational Social Science
  • Network Science

Background:

  • Large-scale collaborative projects, exemplified by Wikipedia, leverage the internet for public good.
  • Conflict resolution is integral to these projects, often driven by editors with differing opinions.
  • Debates can intensify due to editors holding extreme views.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To model consensus-building in collaborative content creation.
  • To investigate the impact of including extreme views on achieving consensus.
  • To analyze the effect of editor exclusion and communication on consensus.

Main Methods:

  • Developed a common value production model.
  • Validated the model using simulations and real-world Wikipedia data.
  • Analyzed editor interactions on Wikipedia talk pages to assess communication's role.

Main Results:

  • Consensus is achievable when extreme views participate and are temporarily represented.
  • Banning editors impedes consensus by delaying discussions.
  • Increased talk page activity correlates with higher controversy in Wikipedia.

Conclusions:

  • Active participation of diverse viewpoints, including extreme ones, is crucial for consensus in collaborative platforms.
  • Exclusionary practices can be counterproductive to achieving collective agreement.
  • Balancing discussion and editing is important, though current Wikipedia dynamics show more talk leads to more controversy.
