Decision Making in Groups

Outline Groupthink Decision making in groups

Groupthink Illusion of invulnerability Assumptions of morality Realisations Stereotyping Self-censorship Illusions of unanimity Mind-guarding Direct pressure …mode of thinking in a cohesive, insulated, high success, prestige group with strong minded, powerful leader (with Praetorian Guard). Desire for unanimity overrides motivation to evaluate alternatives properly. Consequences discussion curtailed, limited alternatives limits on information seeking and re-evaluation of facts outsiders less credible so fail to import expert advice weak contingency planning

Video: Groupthink

Decision Making in Groups Your group must solve each of the problems given in the envelopes Your group’s “dealer” will pass out the slips of paper in the envelopes to all members until everyone has about the same amount You are NOT to show these slips of paper to others in the group- but are instead supposed to exchange this information orally
