Both groupthink and focalism are:
- discouraging creativity;
- ignoring alternative variants;
- leading to irrational actions and decisions;
- distorting reality;
- existing under the pressure that is caused by the outside factors;
- generalizing opinions and experience.
Groupthink is the result of peer pressure, while focalism is caused by magnifying the significance of one thing during it overtops everything else. Groupthink discourages responsibility of the individuality, while focalism leads to assuming that people’s feelings are caused by a single action in current core focus (not the complex of events). Groupthink’s feature is complacency, while focalism’s is emphasizing and isolating one event from others.
