(Lehr #5.3) Doing it Once: Group Think. It is Wednesday afternoon and a group of students are discussing when to meet to work on a group project that is due on the following Monday. It will only take them one day to complete the project. The decision-making process they engage in, influenced by the desire for harmony within the group rather than critically evaluating alternatives, is an example of:
a) Democratic decision-making
b) Authoritarian decision-making
c) Groupthink
d) Consensus decision-making
