Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Production blocking and evaluation apprehension are two barriers to effective group communication and decision-making. Production blocking refers to the tendency for individuals to experience difficulty in expressing their ideas in a group setting due to the limited amount of time and opportunity to communicate. Evaluation apprehension, on the other hand, occurs when individuals are hesitant to share their opinions or ideas because they fear they will be judged or criticized by others in the group. Neither of these factors directly improves the creative process, helps teams avoid groupthink, or overcomes group polarization.
