Polar agglucination (polarity agglucination) is a cognitive process in which information appears simpler and more specific, as opposed to information that is holistic, confusing, or unclear.
In psychology, polarity agglutination refers to the tendency of human thinking to limit new information to some well-defined "polarity," or opposing poles, without recognizing other intermediate positions or shades in between. To understand polarity agglucination, let's look at two terms that relate to it.
Agglutination (English agglutination; Latin agglutinatio - gluing): the connection of homogeneous objects into larger formations (for example, colloidal chemistry). O-agglutative (O from the Latin "union"): This is a form of agglutination that occurs by joining two or more objects together to form a single whole. Now let's look at an example of polarity agglutation - how it works and what its features are:
Example: Comparing two types of women. When you think about a woman, you carry in your head specific ideas about a woman’s appearance: long legs, blonde hair, a gentle character, etc. When you compare two women, you immediately determine for yourself the parameters on which you will look for differences: height, weight, hair color, facial features. They will attract your attention and participate in your assessment of these women. However, if you are faced with a situation that requires you to compare more complex parameters, such as intelligence, kindness, and determination, your brain may have difficulty evaluating the new factors. It will take you more time and effort to determine which one is "better". This shows how agglutinous polarity can influence our thinking when we compare different objects or concepts. We tend to hold stereotypes and distort information when analyzing or evaluating, which can lead to stereotypical views and prejudices. Conclusion Although agglutinous polarity is useful in certain situations, it is also important to be able to change your thinking approaches and openly accept new ideas and views. This will help us reduce the influence of agglutination on our lives and make the process of analyzing and evaluating information more conscious.
