Redirect to:

This page is a redirect. The following categories are used to track and monitor this redirect:

From a merge: This is a redirect from a page that was merged into another page. This redirect was kept in order to preserve the edit history of this page after its content was merged into the content of the target page. Please do not remove the tag that generates this text (unless the need to recreate content on this page has been demonstrated) or delete this page.
- For redirects with substantive page histories that did not result from page merges use {{R with history}} instead.

From predictable disambiguation: This is a redirect from a page name with parenthetical disambiguation that will appear in search predictions for an ambiguous term that readers are likely to search, to a page name using natural disambiguation that otherwise would not appear in predictions for the probable search term.
- When the redirect and its target have the same base page name and only the disambiguation qualifier is different, use {{R from other disambiguation}} instead.

Mentioned in a hatnote: This is a redirect from a title that is mentioned in a hatnote at the redirect target. The mention is usually atop the target article. It may, however, be directly under a section header, or in another article's hatnote (whenever the hatnote is under a section, {{R to section}} should also be used).
- The titles of redirects mentioned in hatnotes may refer to a subject other than that of the target page. It is possible that this redirect may need to be retargeted, or become an article under its own title (see {{R with possibilities}}). If the title is a good candidate for a Wiktionary link, it may also be added.

When appropriate, protection levels are automatically sensed, described and categorized.

-In [[communication]]s 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 [[Logical argument|argument]] to make increasingly disagreeable statements, via the "pendulum effect". Thus, it is commonly observed in polarized groups, that judgments made after group discussion will be more extreme on a given subject than the average of individual judgments made prior to discussion.

-Also called 'group polarization'; used to be called the 'risky shift phenomenon', with particular reference to [[jury]] decision-making.
