 Communication Theory: A First Look
Janis originally defined groupthink as ‘‘a mode of thinking that people engage in when they are deeply involved in a cohesive in-group, when the members’ strivings for unanimity override their motivation to realistically appraise alternative courses of action."5 According to his definition, groupthink occurs only when cohesiveness is high.
Janis pictured this kind of group as having a ‘‘warm clubby atmosphere." This description captures the image a minority businessman had in mind when a friend asked him what clubs he would like to join when racial integration became a reality.
Janis introduced the concept of groupthink through the popular press in 1971.13 The idea struck a responsive chord with policy planners who had hastily approved courses of action that just as quickly turned out to be major blunders.
