Document Summary
Group = more risky than individual, diffusion of responsibility, more people taking the blame if things go wrong. There is another explanation which from the data is probably also going on, not throwing diffusion out, adding: people when they"re together are going along with cultural value. In the beginning, cultural value is to be risky, everyone comes into the group thinking they"re the riskier, when find out they are not, agree with cultural value that states to be risky- group shifts according to riskiest person. Not true for all situations, true for most, but when risk pertains to peoples lives, cultural value states: be conservative, so when in group, be less risking when dealing with people"s lives. 2 factors: diffusion of responsibility, and group moving in cultural value- risky or not. If group pushes people towards cultural value, the only conclusion we can come to- don"t help.
