Provide an example of when groupthink occurred in a group you worked with (this could be an athletic group, study group, club, etc.). In order to apply, ensure that you provide at least two antecedent conditions, two symptoms, and then one way in which groupthink could be prevented.
What will be an ideal response?
The responses will differ. The important part is for the student to make a solid connection between the factors of the theory and their example, antecedent conditions (cohesion, structural flaws, situational characteristics), symptoms (overestimation of the group, closed-mindedness, pressure toward uniformity), and the ways to prevent groupthink. Factors need to be clearly identified and described.
