There are many causes of groupthink, such as illusion or vulnerability and conformity/pressure to the group or authority figures. In Janis’ studies, groups developed an excessive optimism that blinded them to the warnings of dangers. Being concerned with group cohesiveness and unanimity over realistic appraisal of the situation can also cause group think (Gray, 2002).
