Groupthink has some empirical support but also has criticism. While it can lead to more cohesive groups and agreements, it can also stifle creativity and lead to poor decision-making. Therefore, it is important to be aware of the potential downsides of groupthink and take steps to mitigate them. The other options are incorrect: A is false as brainstorming and groupthink are two distinctly different concepts; C is false as group cohesion can contribute to groupthink; and D is false as groupthink is more likely in smaller rather than larger groups.
