Talk:Attitude polarization

message: The introduction sounds awfully similar to Confirmation bias, in fact I can't find a difference in the concept.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 2 of 8 (talk • contribs) 09:45, 22 November 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: It is closely related to confirmation bias, but it is not quite the same thing. I hope that becaomes clear when you read the article as opposed to the intro. maybe the intro needs ot be altered to reflect the difference? Anarchia (talk) 03:25, 23 November 2007 (UTC)
replies: text:  If it is in fact similar enough to be confused, there should be an explanation of the differences. I myself can't point these out; to me, this article seems completely off the mark. Attitude polarization, from what I learned, is the tendency to perceive a viewpoint opposing one's own as more extreme than it really is. For example: say I don't agree with capital punishment. So, I will think of those who do agree with it as people who are supporting killing someone for even petty crimes; thus, I view their position as more extreme than in reality. 2_of_8 (talk) 04:53, 18 January 2009 (UTC)

message: I read the article and I'm not really sure I understood what the bias means. Could someone please add an example?  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 212.199.159.108 (talk) 04:22, 1 August 2011 (UTC)
thread_title:  Article Needs An example 

message: It seems as though a lot of the text of the Polarization of opinion section of the Confirmation bias article should be adapted to be included in this article.  I may do this as an editing job later, but if someone beats me to it, I'd be happy.  Anyone see why this section should be adapted over?  The examples and explanations don't appear to be covered here (at least, based on my skimming of this article), which means that even though the "Polarization of opinion" section is presented as summarizing concepts of this article, it is covering a lot of information that isn't covered here. -- RobLa (talk) 05:00, 14 August 2015 (UTC)
