Numerous experiments have demonstrated the possibility of attitude polarization. For instance, Lord, Ross, and Leper (1979) found that death penalty advocates became more convinced of the deterrent effect of the death penalty while opponents become more convinced of the lack of a deterrent effect, after being presented with the same studies. However, there is an unclear understanding of just what these experiments show and what their implications are. We argue that attitude polarization is consistent with an unbiased evaluation of evidence. Moreover, attitude polarization is even to be expected under many circumstances. We also undertake a critical re-examination of several well-known papers
