group belief

Group belief refers to the shared convictions or assumptions held by members of a community or organization. It shapes how they interpret information, make decisions, and behave collectively. These beliefs are often reinforced through communication, cultural norms, and shared experiences, creating a sense of unity and identity within the group. Group beliefs can influence social dynamics, policy choices, and attitudes towards outsiders. While they foster cohesion and common purpose, they can also lead to biases or resistance to new ideas if the shared beliefs become rigid.
