RE: Beware of Groupthink Mentality

in #psychology6 years ago

Really good points that you are making. That video was so funny.
It's healthy to be a dissenter.
Sometimes I play "devil's advocate" on a weak argument just to give myself the practice of not automatically agreeing with the group.
It's not just important to practice individual thought and disagreement, but to accept other dissenters for their own individual thought process.
Agreeing because the majority holds one opinion is actual a logical fallacy, "bandwagon."

Sort:  

I love playing devils advocate as well just to force other people to consider outside opinions. Glad that you were able to take away the key points from the post. I really like the statement you made below.

Yea that video is a classic lol. I have always wanted to get some coworkers to try it with me in our elevator and see how students react when they walk in.
