Answer 1

Groupthink occurs when group members desire harmony.

Groupthink occurs when members of a group strongly desire agreement and harmony. They may avoid criticism, suppress opposing views and accept decisions without careful evaluation. This can reduce independent thinking and lead to poor decisions because maintaining unity becomes more important than objectively examining alternatives.
