Question

multiple choice question
groupthink typically leads to:

• better problem - solving methods
• poor decision - making outcomes
• difficulty in reaching consensus
• conflict among group members

Explanation:

Groupthink is a phenomenon where group members prioritize conformity and harmony over critical thinking and diverse perspectives. This often results in flawed decision - making as alternative viewpoints are suppressed, and the group may not thoroughly analyze options. "Better problem - solving methods" is incorrect as groupthink hinders good problem - solving. "Difficulty in reaching consensus" is wrong because groupthink often leads to quick consensus at the expense of quality. "Conflict among group members" is also incorrect as groupthink is about avoiding conflict to maintain harmony.

Answer:

B. poor decision - making outcomes
