RIsKY SHIFT

The tendency of groups to collectively make more extreme decisions than any individual would. Favoring more daring decisions

WE had the Same IDEa!

If everyone has similar ideas, then one may take a risky shift and the others will agree to be more original.

We should be creative

Blah Blah Blah, Unoriginal idea

Persuasive Argument

The rational Argument of others, when supporting the person's original view, tend to lead that individual farther in the direction of his/her own inclinations

Group Polarization: occurs when people within a group discuss an idea that most of them neither favor or oppose causes an enhancement of a group's prevailing tendencies!

How your decision is right

How this will make you even more incorrectly confident

Group Think Examples:

GROUP THINK

Cuban Wars Pigs Bay

GRoup THink: 12 Angry Men

GROUP THINK VIDEOS

Example: The Space-shuttle has flown 19 times, and it will do it again.

Self-appointed ‘mind-guards’ – Members protect the group and the leader from information that is problematic

Illusion of unanimity – The majority view and judgments are assumed to be unanimous.

Illusion of invulnerability:–Creates excessive optimism that encourages taking extreme risks.

Direct pressure on dissenters – Members-

are under pressure not to express arguments against any of the group’s views

Stereotyped views of out-groups – Negative views of “enemy” make effective responses to conflict seem unnecessary.

GROUP THINK: The mode of thinking that occurs when the desire for harmony in a decision-making group overrides a realistic appraisal of alternatives

Example:

The avoidance of answering the questions asked by the only unanimous man

Example: The negative view of the Cuban Government, Ignore commentary on war.

Collective rationalization: – Members discount warnings and do not reconsider their assumptions.
