Social decision schemes- simple rules that can be used for a group to make a final decision: ex: majority wins rule. 2: note: when deciding if a group or an individual makes better decisions, it"s important to note the experience that the group has gained up until the point where they are being assessed. Limits of group decision making: limitations of group decision making, groupthink, group polarization, groupthink- ignoring mental efficiency, reality testing, and one"s own moral judgment that typically results from pressures within the group. Then, during the discussion they notice that their ideas are not so far from average, so they change their attitudes to a more extreme version. Individuals list their own ideas on their own.
