Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Research has shown that even subtle pressure to conform can have an effect on team decision making, leading to a shift in the decision preferences of team members. This can lead to groupthink and a lack of innovative ideas. Production blocking is not necessarily caused by pressure to conform, and group polarization usually occurs when team members with similar preferences encourage each other's opinions, rather than feeling pressured to conform.
