English term or phrase: groupthink
Definition from American Psychological Association:
The tendency of a decision-making group to filter out undesirable input so that a consensus may be reached, especially if it is in line with the leader's viewpoint.

Example sentence(s):
  • A group is especially vulnerable to groupthink when its members are similar in background, when the group is insulated from outside opinions, and when there are no clear rules for decision making. psysr.org
  • Another description, as it applies to education and group projects, is that "Groupthink is a process of gradualism that seeks to gently merge the followers into a pack with leaders, the hope being that the leaders will pull up those who typically reside on the low end of the motivation and achievement scale sourcewatch.org
  • Groups experiencing groupthink do not consider all alternatives and they desire unanimity at the expense of quality decisions. Small Group Communication

الفكر الجماعي يطلقها علماء النفس على الجماعات التي يمكنها التوصل إلى قرارات خاطئة وسيئة جدًا، لأن عمليات التفكير لدى أفرادها قد تتخذ منحى منحرفًا!

الانقياد بفكر الجماعة


Definition from wikipedia:
Groupthink is a type of thought exhibited by group members who try to minimize conflict and reach consensus without critically testing, analyzing, and evaluating ideas. Individual creativity, uniqueness, and independent thinking are lost in the pursuit of group cohesiveness, as are the advantages of reasonable balance in choice and thought that might normally be obtained by making decisions as a group.[1] During groupthink, members of the group avoid promoting viewpoints outside the comfort zone of consensus thinking. A variety of motives for this may exist such as a desire to avoid being seen as foolish, or a desire to avoid embarrassing or angering other members of the group. Groupthink may cause groups to make hasty, irrational decisions, where individual doubts are set aside, for fear of upsetting the group’s balance. The term is frequently used pejoratively, with hindsight.

Example sentence(s):
  • A mode of thinking that people engage in when they are deeply involved in a cohesive in-group, when the members' strivings for unanimity override their motivation to realistically appraise alternative courses of action.[3] - wikipedia

Definition from Sonasoq:
الفكر الجماعي يطلقها علماء النفس على الجماعات التي يمكنها التوصل إلى قرارات خاطئة وسيئة جدًا، لأن عمليات التفكير لدى أفرادها قد تتخذ منحى منحرفًا!

Example sentence(s):
  • ووجد المتخصصون أن متخذي القرار كانوا ضحية لما اسماه التفكير الجمعي والتي سبب الهزيمة لأمريكا فهذا النوع من التفكير قد تكون له اثاره السلبية فقد تعتقد بعض الجماعات أو الدول القوية والتي قد يصل بها الحال إلى الإيمان القوي المطلق بانه من الصعب أن تكون على خطأ في نظرتها للأمور وذلك نظراً لمركزها الاجتماعي وبالتالي حتى الآخرين يقتنعون بأنه من المستحيل أن تكون هذه المجموعة على خطأ - Alriyadh
