Question

Groups sometimes recommend more uncertain options than do individual decision makers in a phenomenon called:

a. group polarization.
b. deindividuation.
c. social facilitation.
d. risky shift.

Answer 1

The correct answer is A) group polarization.

Groups sometimes recommend more uncertain options than do individual decision-makers in a phenomenon called group polarization.

When this phenomenon is presented, people are prone to risky shifts, which means that the members of the group act in a more risky or reckless way because they feel protected as part of the group. So this makes the members of the group make more aggressive or bolder decisions.

Answer 2

The phenomeno is called risky shift. This phenomenon occurs when people make more risky decisions when they participate in group activities when they participate in activities individually. This is because the perception of risk is divided and diluted among the members of the group and therefore the perception of danger is lower. I hope my answer can help you.
