Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Groupthink is the tendency of group members to go along with the views of the majority, even if they don't necessarily agree with them, to maintain harmony within the group. This can lead to faulty decision-making and an inability to consider alternative viewpoints. The other options do not fully capture this concept. The commons dilemma refers to a situation where individuals overuse a shared resource for personal gain. Obedience refers to compliance with authority figures. Deindividuation refers to a loss of self-awareness and individual identity in a group setting.
