Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Groupthink refers to the phenomenon of a group of people making decisions without critically evaluating all available options and ideas because they want to maintain group harmony or consensus. This can lead to poor decision-making and negative outcomes. Anchoring refers to the cognitive bias where people rely too heavily on the first piece of information they receive when making decisions. Analysis paralysis refers to the situation where a group becomes stuck in the decision-making process due to overanalyzing and considering too many options. Wildstorming is not a recognized term in the field of psychology or group decision-making.
