Irving Janis states that while "High-cohesive groups are more effective than low-cohesive groups in achieving their respective goals", some groups might be so closely "superglued" together in group cohesiveness that the problem-solving process in which multiple minds must contribute to is disrupted, therefore producing bad solutions. According to, "Janis was convinced that the concurrence-seeking tendency of close-knit groups can cause them to make inferior decisions".

Since the atmosphere in such groups would be so incredibly "superglued", the individuals participating in these groups would be too receptive to other ideas, and be wary of expressing their own ideas. This is due to the confidence level the individuals hold, and the respect they hold for each other.

Thus, inferior decisions can be made.
