“…To be sure, we do not argue that theories that assume negative influence fail to explain the bi-polarization dynamics, which have been observed in empirical studies [33]–[35]. Instead, the weak empirical support for the micro-level assumption of negative influence leads us to explore whether and under what conditions it is possible to explain the macro-level phenomenon of bi-polarization without resorting to this assumption.…”

Explanations of opinion bi-polarization hinge on the assumption of negative influence, individuals’ striving to amplify differences to disliked others. However, empirical evidence for negative influence is inconclusive, which motivated us to search for an alternative explanation. Here, we demonstrate that bi-polarization can be explained without negative influence, drawing on theories that emphasize the communication of arguments as central mechanism of influence. Due to homophily, actors interact mainly with others whose arguments will intensify existing tendencies for or against the issue at stake. We develop an agent-based model of this theory and compare its implications to those of existing social-influence models, deriving testable hypotheses about the conditions of bi-polarization. Hypotheses were tested with a group-discussion experiment (N = 96). Results demonstrate that argument exchange can entail bi-polarization even when there is no negative influence.

“…However, national diversity is also linked to favorable task-relevant differences, such as divergent perspectives, different approaches and insights, and broader worldviews (Dahlin et al, 2005;Earley & Mosakowski, 2000;Kearney & Gebert, 2009)…”

“…In this study, we used diversity of nationality instead of culture or cultural values as the diversity construct. As a result, we cannot directly speak to the more underlying, deep-level aspects of cultural values that are assumed to relate to national diversity (Earley & Mosakowski, 2000). However, cross-cultural research shows that different nationalities are systematically linked to meaningful cultural value differences (Hofstede, 1980;House, Hanges, Javidan, Dorfman, & Gupta, 2004).…”

“…From the research perspective, the evidence is mixed. For example, one study showed that diversity improved group interaction and efficiency (Earley & Mosakowski, 2000), whereas another showed the diversity to have negative effects on social integration and communication (Williams & O'Reilly, 1998). Another study made a distinction between the type of diversity and found racial diversity to be positively correlated with emotional conflict whereas age diversity is negatively correlated with emotional conflict (Pelled, Eisenhardt, & Xin, 1999).…”

Social Work with Groups

Social workers often are reluctant to use evidence-based practice in group work. Part of this reluctance is because of the perceived rigidity of the process and its emphasis on research. However, social workers can rely on the four cornerstones of evidence-based practice-research, clinical experience, personal views, and client's perspective-to provide an evidence-based group intervention. In this article, the authors illustrate how social workers used the four cornerstones at one alternative high school to provide an evidence-based group intervention. These cornerstones were used from the beginning of the process, which started with choosing the type of intervention, through the end of the process, which concluded with assessing the intervention. In this article, the authors show that it is possible for social workers to provide an evidence-based group intervention, while remaining flexible, thereby contributing to social workers' knowledge of how to use evidence-based practice with groups.
