What is another word for groupthinking?
Pronunciation: [ɡɹˈuːpθɪŋkɪŋ] (IPA) 
Groupthinking refers to the phenomenon where individuals in a group tend to conform to the opinions, views and ideas of the group, instead of challenging them in a critical manner. This leads to a homogenous and unchallenged way of thinking, which can stifle creativity and innovation. Other terms for groupthinking include "conformity syndrome", "herd mentality", "mob mentality" and "culture of consensus". These terms emphasize the tendency of people to go along with the prevailing thinking of the group, even if it is illogical or irrational, and the potential harms of such behavior. It is important to recognize and address groupthinking in order to promote independent thinking and progress.
