“Irving Janis received many professional awards during his life. These awards included the Distinguished Scientific Contribution Award, presented by the American Psychological Association in 1981, the American Association for the Advancement of Science Socio-Psychological Prize in 1967, and the Distinguished Scientist of the Year Award for 1991 from the Society of Experimental Psychology” (http://content.cdlib.org/xtf/view?docId=hb4t1nb2bd&doc.view=frames&chunk.id=div00032&toc.depth=1&toc.id=&brand=oac&query=Irving%20Janis).
Janis was most famous for his “Group Think” theory.
According to Janis, Group Think occurs when the members of a highly cohesive group reach an agreement around the dominant view that emerges during discussion.
Although the group members come with different views, they quickly change their minds to correspond with the dominant position that emerges in discussion. When this occurs, group members are not retaining their responsibilities and are in fact acting unethically.
For future readings, here’s are two examples of books written by Irving Janis.
Janis, I. (1972). Victims of groupthink. Boston: Houghton Mifflin.
Janis, I. (1982). Groupthink (2nd ed.). Boston: Houghton Mifflin.
Also, here are three journal articles from our school library, which can be retained on the SXU library website.
Personality Differences Associated With Responsiveness To Fear-Arouse Communications.
Personality Correlates of Susceptibility To Persuasion
Memory Loss Following Electric Convulsive Treatments.
Additionally, here are two sites where you can read more about the life of Marshall McLuhan and his publications in greater detail.
