It is a type of social influence in which an individual changes their attitudes, beliefs, or behavior to align with those of a group. Groupthink refers to a phenomenon in which a group of people reaches a consensus decision without considering alternatives, leading to flawed decision-making. Group polarization is the phenomenon in which group discussion tends to shift group members' attitudes to become more extreme than their original attitudes. Pluralistic ignorance occurs when individuals privately reject a norm but believe that others accept it, leading to public adherence to the norm.
