Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Groupthink is a psychological phenomenon that occurs within a group of people when the desire for harmony or conformity in the group results in an irrational or dysfunctional decision-making outcome. Members try to minimize conflict and reach a consensus decision without critical evaluation of alternative viewpoints, often leading to the suppression of dissenting viewpoints and the overlooking of potential problems or better solutions.
