Answer to Question 1

Answer: Possible conditions include: if they hold steadily to their views; if they once held the majority position; if they are willing to compromise a bit; if they have at least some support from others; if they present their views as compatible with the majority view, but just ahead of the curve; and if the audience is interested in making an accurate decision.

Answer to Question 2

Answer: Groupthink is a style of group decision making characterized by a greater desire among members to get along and agree with one another than to generate and critically evaluate alternative viewpoints and positions. Several strategies can be used to prevent groupthink, including appointing a devil's advocate, bringing in an outside viewpoint, encouraging the expression of doubts and alternative views, and refraining from airing one's views until group members have freely discussed theirs.
