Quizplus · Accepted Answer

These symptoms are indicative of groupthink, a psychological phenomenon that occurs within a group of people in which the desire for harmony or conformity in the group results in an irrational or dysfunctional decision-making outcome. Group members try to minimize conflict and reach a consensus decision without critical evaluation of alternative viewpoints, often leading to an overestimation of the group's competence and close-mindedness.
