Question

Symptoms of groupthink in a group

Answer 1

1. Invulnerability

Members of the group share an illusion of invulnerability that creates excessive optimism and encourages taking abnormal risks.



2. Rationale

Victims of this behavior ignore and discount warnings and negative feedback that may cause the group to reconsider their previous assumptions.



3. Morality

Victims ignore the ethical or moral consequences of their decisions and believe unquestionably in the morality of their in-group.



4. Stereotypes

Members of the group possess negative and/or stereotypical views of their “enemies”.



5. Pressure

Victims apply direct pressure to any individual who momentarily expresses concern or doubt about the group’s shared views. Members are not able to express their own individual arguments against the group.



6. Self-censorship

Victims avoid deviating from what the group consensus is and keep quiet. Doubts and concerns about the group are not expressed and victims of groupthink may undermine the importance or validity of their doubts.



7. Illusion of Unanimity

Victims of groupthink share an illusion of unanimity – that the majority view and judgments of the group are unanimous.



8. Mind Guards

Victims of groupthink may appoint themselves to protect the group and the group leader from information that may be problematic or contradictory to the group’s views, decisions, or cohesiveness.
