The idea that people dare not to express their preferences as they believe they deviate from the majority opinion is called:
A) dominant strategy
B) spiral of silence
C) bystander effect

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The spiral of silence theory proposes that people are less likely to publicly express their opinions if they perceive them to be in the minority, in order to avoid social isolation or criticism. This phenomenon can lead to a false perception of majority opinion and further reinforce the spiral of silence. The other choices, dominant strategy and bystander effect, do not directly relate to this concept.
