dichotomous
Significado: Divided or dividing into two sharply contrasting groups, parts, or opinions.
Dichotomous describes a division into two mutually exclusive or contradictory categories. In statistics, a dichotomous variable has only two possible values (yes/no, male/female). In general academic writing, it often describes thinking that oversimplifies by reducing something to two opposing categories. It collocates with 'thinking,' 'variable,' 'view,' 'choice,' and 'approach.'
