11. Ambiguity • Is it a problem? Is it not? Err on the side of caution and INVESTIGATE! • Conformity • Informational Influence-When you think someone knows more than you do, or has more information than you, you will follow their lead. • Pluralistic Ignorance-the majority know there is something wrong but no one else looks concerned so you think you must be the only one and this you don’t do anything. • Normative Influence-you go along with the group to fit in, to be liked of to be accepted by the group. • Groupthink- when members try to minimize conflict and reach consensus without critically testing, analyzing and evaluating ideas. Groupthink may cause groups to make hasty irrational decision where individual doubts are set aside due to a desire to avoid being seen as foolish or to avoid embarrassing or angering other members of the group. • Spiral of Silence-if one thinks that they are in the minority they are less likely to voice an opinion. So people who don’t directly engage in problematic situation still contribute to the problem with their silence. B. Factors that affect helping
