Answer to Question 1

d

Answer to Question 2

Social psychologist Irving 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. He coined the term groupthinkthe pressure by which members of a cohesive group arrive at a decision that many individual members privately believe is unwise. Members usually want to be team players. They may not want to be the ones who undermine the group's consensus or who challenge the group's leaders. Consequently, 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.
