abstract |
Tested the referent informational influence analysis of group polarization. Referent
informational influence theory explains group polarization as conformity, through
self-categorization, to a local in-group norm that is polarized as a result of the
in-group being located toward an extreme of the salient comparative context or social
frame of reference. The experiment adopted a modified form of the risky shift paradigm,
in which 96 16- and 17-yr-olds were identified as risky or cautious individuals or
groups for the purpose of 4-person group discussions of risky and cautious choice
dilemmas. While risky groups shifted toward risk and cautious groups toward caution,
risky and cautious individuals showed no shift or actually shifted in the opposite
direction from their label. Results are interpreted as providing evidence favoring
referent informational influence theory over the persuasive arguments and social comparison/cultural
values theories. |
