Who is associated with the concept of ‘Groupthink’?

The correct answer is Option (2) → Irving Janis

Irving Janis suggested that cohesion can interfere with good leadership and lead to disastrous decisions. He discovered groupthink, in which a group’s concern for unanimity overrides a realistic look at the choices. It is marked by the appearance of consensus: each member believes all the others agree, and no one dissents for fear of breaking the group’s cohesion.
