Irving Janis
Irving Janis was a notable American social psychologist, best known for his research on groupthink and decision-making processes within cohesive groups. His work, particularly following significant historical events like the Vietnam War and the Bay of Pigs invasion, explored how group dynamics can lead to poor decision-making. Janis's theories have had a lasting impact on understanding how collective reasoning can sometimes overshadow individual critical thinking.
