Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The dangers of groupthink are greatest when the group is under pressure. When group members feel threatened or are facing a high-stress situation, they may be more likely to conform to the group's opinions and ideas without critical evaluation. This can lead to a lack of creativity, diversity of thought and potentially to flawed decision-making. The other choices are not necessarily associated with an increase in groupthink.
