A Partial Test of Janis' Groupthink Model: Effects of Group Cohesiveness and Leader Behavior on Defective Decision Making
Abstract
The effects of group cohesiveness and leader behavior on Janis' (1982) symptoms of defective decision making were investigated within a laboratory setting. Two-hundred-eight college students were divided into four-person groups to solve a hypothetical business problem during tape-recorded group discussion sessions. Results showed that members of noncohesive groups engaged in more self-censorship of information than did members of cohesive groups. Teams with directive leaders proposed and discussed fewer alternative solutions to the problem than did groups with leaders who encouraged member participation. Groups with directive leaders were also willing to comply with the leaders' proposed solutions when the leaders stated their preferences early in the group discussion. These results only partially support Janis' groupthink model.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
