Explanation:

Interest groups, also called special interest groups or pressure groups, any association of individuals or organizations, usually formally organized, that, on the basis of one or more shared concerns, attempts to influence public policy in their favour. All interest groups share a desire to affect government policy to benefit themselves or their causes.

Their primary goal is to have a policy that exclusively benefits group members or one segment of society (e.g., government subsidies for farmers) or a policy that advances a broader public purpose (e.g., improving air quality). They attempt to achieve their goals by lobbying—that is, by attempting to bring pressure to bear on policy makers to gain policy outcomes in their favour.

Answer:Michelle is using RATIONALISATION to minimize

Explanation:

Rationalization is a defence mechanism in which we try to give a rational or logical explanation of a situation in order to escape the real meaning of it or justify an action , this is done so that we can tolerate a situation or make it look better than it is hence we will not feel worse about it.

Michelle is trying to convince herself that her husband isn't cheating which will calm her cause if she were to explain all these cues in the exact way that they seem to indicate it may be devastating for her so to make this matter tolerable for herself she would rather find a logical explanation that would make her feel better.
