Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Goal displacement refers to a situation where a group replaces its original goal with a different, often less important, goal. This can occur when the group's dynamics shift, when new information or interests emerge, or when the original goal becomes more difficult or unattainable. Groupthink, a framing effect, and goal alignment are all different phenomena that do not involve a shift in the group's original goal. Goal realization is not a recognized term or concept in the study of decision-making.
