我们预测，讨论会提高主导群体的价值观，导致高，中，低偏见高中科目的同质组成的群体之间的两极分化增加。在实验条件下，小组成员作出个人的态度判断，讨论他们，并重新作出判断。控制组在再次回答态度问题之前讨论了不相关的材料。正如预测的那样，与其他有类似态度的人讨论种族态度项目显着增加了高偏见组和低偏见组之间的差距。
We predicted that discussion would enhance dominant group values, leading to increased polarization between homogeneously composed groups of high-, medium-, and low-prejudice high school subjects. In an experimental condition, group members made individual attitude judgments, discussed them, and remade judgments. Control groups discussed irrelevant materials before responding again to the attitude items. As predicted, discussion of the racial attitude items with others having similar attitudes significantly increased the gap between high- and low-prejudice groups.
