Spreadthink is a kind of conceptual pathology of groups unable to reach any "genuine consensus, or even majority view toward component aspects of a complex issue". [citation needed] The word was coined by systems researcher and mathematical cybernetician John N. Warfield to describe ineffective thinking in groups.
The theory contains 14 propositions [6] as a core. Of those, the first half focuses on the influence of input on the process of decision-making. Here Oetzel assumes that individual members of homogeneous groups activate either independent self-construals (such members emphasize the quality decision and are not primarily interested in relationships among members) or interdependent self ...
Irving Lester Janis (May 26, 1918 – November 15, 1990) was an American research psychologist at Yale University and a professor emeritus at the University of California, Berkeley most famous for his theory of "groupthink", which described the systematic errors made by groups when making collective decisions.

It’s official: That meeting really should have been an email. Five thousand knowledge workers across four continents took part in a recent survey by Australian software giant Atlassian.The vast ...
The three major intragroup process constructs examined are intra-group conflict, team cohesion, and team-efficacy. Intra-group conflict is an integral part of the process a team undergoes and the effectiveness of the unit that was formed. Previous research has differentiated two components of intra-group conflict:
This cheat sheet is the aftermath of hours upon hours of research on all of the teams in this year’s tournament field. I’ve listed each teams’ win and loss record, their against the spread totals, and
Group dynamics is a system of behaviors and psychological processes occurring within a social group (intragroup dynamics), or between social groups (intergroup dynamics). The study of group dynamics can be useful in understanding decision-making behaviour, tracking the spread of diseases in society, creating effective therapy techniques, and ...
