A. Majority influence.
B. Groupthink.
C. Strategic decision making.
D. Cognitive dissonance

Answer 1

B Group think because I think there were trying to work together.

Answer 2

Answer:

B. Groupthink.

Explanation:

The term groupthink is used to refer to a way of thinking in which people get involved when they are deeply engaged in a cohesive group. That is, when group members' efforts to reach unanimous decisions overlap the personal motivation of each group member to realistically evaluate their actions and to test whether these actions will be effective in the goal desired by the group.

An example of this can be seen in the above question, where a group of nerds designed a new technology based solely on the skills and desires of the group members, without having the ability to think critically about their project and conclude that perhaps people from outside the group could not use the technology.
