A committee chair schedules a meeting to discuss all points of view and the possible solutions. Of which technique is this an example?
1. Premature concurrence thinking
2. Dialectical inquiry
3. Gatekeeping
4. Mind guarding
2
Explanation: 1. Dialectical inquiry minimizes groupthink by allowing disagreement and reducing the
emotional aspects associated with the conflict. Premature concurrence thinking promotes
self-censorship of ideas and exerts pressure to conform. Gatekeeping protects the group from
controversial information and discourages dissent by diverting doubts about the group?s
decision. Mind guards use gatekeeping to protect the group from controversial information
and discourage dissent by diverting doubts about the group?s decision.
