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 sentences:
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)

Indgruppen (vi grupperer med internaliserede normer) kan være fx etniske grupper eller religiøse grupper, der føler sig anderledes end de, der er udenfor. Os/dem. Denne gruppe er i risiko for at danne Groupthink/gruppetænkning eller meget selektiv informationsindtag.
Example sentences:
Denne gruppe er i risiko for at danne Groupthink/gruppetænkning eller meget selektiv informationsindtag. (Aalborg Universitet)
Gruppetænkning Når bestræbelserne på at opnå samstemmighed bliver så dominerende i et godt sammensvejset ind-gruppe, at den bliver tilbøjelig til at tilsidesætte en realistisk vurdering af alternative fremgangsmåder (Janis, 1971) (Århus Universitet)
I et sådant til fælde opstår der, hvad Janis (1972) kalder for gruppetænkning, idet de individuelle gruppemed lemmers vurderinger bliver påvirket af gruppens homoge nitet. (Knowledge Lab)
