What are the two reasons why unshared information does not receive as much weight as shared information?
- Shared information can be validated by group members other than the one that mentioned it.
- People are reluctant to change an initial preference, new unshared information that comes up during discussion implies that this preference is incorrect.
What are 4 ways to counteract biased information-sharing in groups?
- Initial preference diversity: preference diversity, even if no member is initially correct, can improve group decisions.
- Decision framing: frame the decisional task as a problem to be solved rather than a decision to make.
