Risky Shift

Risky Shift refers to a phenomenon where groups make more daring or risky decisions compared to individuals making the same choice alone. When people come together in a group, they often feel a sense of anonymity and shared responsibility, which can encourage them to take greater risks. This behavior contrasts with what they might choose individually, where they may be more cautious. The concept highlights how group dynamics can influence decision-making, often leading to outcomes that one person might avoid when acting alone.
