'''''Groupthink''''' is a psychological [[phenomenon]] that occurs within a group of people in which the [[desire]] for [[harmony]] or [[conformity]] in the group results in an irrational or [[dysfunctional]] [[decision]]-making outcome. Cohesiveness, or the desire for cohesiveness, in a group may produce a tendency among its members to agree at all costs. This causes the group to minimize [[conflict]] and reach a [[consensus]] decision without critical [[evaluation]].
