Answer to Question 1

The term groupthink refers to the pressure on members of a cohesive group to

conform to the group decision and refrain from contributing conflicting opinions. Janis

examined group decision making among political experts and found that major blunders

in U.S. history may be attributed to pressure toward group conformity. Group members

often limit or withhold their opinions and focus on consensus rather than on exploring all

of the options and determining the best course of action, sometimes with tragic results.
