Peer reviewedPosner-Weber, Cheryl – Small Group Behavior, 1987
Discusses the definition and origin of the term "groupthink." Examines three studies on groupthink by John Courtright (1978), Matie Flowers (1977), and Philip Tetlock (1979). Concludes none of the three is superior to another but that it can be learned from all three that group decision making is fraught with danger. (ABL)

Peer reviewedButler, Timothy; Fuhriman, Addie – Small Group Behavior, 1980
