📖 Definitions

"A group is ideologically diverse with respect to a controversial question X when there are a significant number of members who hold incompatible answers to X (including agnosticism about X). So, ideological diversity is relative to some issue. A group can be diverse in some respects and non-diverse in others." (McBrayer, 2024, p.616)

💡 Examples

• "For example, a group of faculty might be diverse on the

issue of whether charity is supererogatory but non-diverse on whether strict guncontrol policies are warranted." (McBrayer, 2024, p.616)
