Groupthink: Challenger's Roger Boisjoly


Hi Everyone!

In intro & Social Psych our text discusses the Challenger explosion for the concepts Groupthink. Today there is an article that Roger Boisjoly, one of the most strongest voices trying to warn NASA about the faulty 0-Rings on the rocket boosters has died.

NPR has several audio reports. The 2nd one demonstrates the communication problems of Groupthink! Again Groupthink also was the issue for Columbia's explosion when the insulating tiles came off during take off.

The last audio discusses the label of Bisjoly being "a complainer" and we also discuss the harm of Positive Thinking and "being a team player."
