decision making by a group (especially in a manner that discourages creativity or individual responsibility)
An undesirable condition in which all members of a group (e g a project team) begin to think alike or pretend to think alike No members are then willing to raise objections or concerns about a project even though they are legitimate and based on hard data
The faulty decision-making processes that may occur in groups (p 610)
{i} tendency toward conformity; belief that some decisions should be made by a group (rather than an individual); lack of individuality and creativity
a group process in which group members work so hard to achieve unanimous agreement that they fail to consider realistically the various alternative courses of action available to them
the tendency of group discussion to assimilate opinions
is 'a mode of thinking that people engage in when they are deeply involved in a cohesive in-group, when the members' striving for unanimity overrides their motivation to realistically appraise alternative courses of action' (Janis, 1972)
a dysfunction in which some group members attempt to preserve group harmony by suppressing the voicing of dissenting opinion
