Public health interventions, such as mandated vaccinating or quarantining during an epidemic, are necessary to limit the spread of communicable diseases, but in many cases, certain groups resist these initiatives For example, during the COVID-19 pandemic of 2020, antiquarantine groups protested the mandate to socially distance and remain at home, claiming these directives violated their right to assemble, travel, and work The current analysis examined media descriptions of these antiquarantine groups to determine if these groups' divergent responses to a legally and medically warranted health initiative resulted from groupthink: the deterioration of judgment and rationality that sometimes occurs in groups In support of this possibility, accounts of these groups indicated that (a) the conditions that cause groupthink, including high levels of cohesion and isolation, were present and potent within these groups and that (b) the groups exhibited many of the symptoms of groupthink, including group illusions and pressures to conform Given the ubiquity of these groups-for centuries, public health interventions have generated opposing antiregulation reactions-no amount of planning may be sufficient to prevent such groups However, a theory-driven approach based on groupthink suggests that group-level interventions that directly address the processes that cause groupthink, such as isolation, conformity pressure, and cohesion, could reduce the influence of such groups on their members and on society (PsycInfo Database Record (c) 2020 APA, all rights reserved) Impact Statement Highlights and Implications-*Groups that protest public health interventions that mandate vaccinating or quarantining during an epidemic may be experiencing groupthink: the deterioration of judgment and rationality that sometimes occurs in highly cohesive groups *The group-level processes that are associated with groupthink, such as high levels of cohesion and isolation, were in evidence in the antiquarantine groups that protested medical directives during the COVID-19 pandemic of 2020 *Group-level interventions that limit groupthink in such groups could reduce the number of individuals who take part in group activities that are inconsistent with legally and medically warranted health initiatives *Groupthink theory provides a general explanation for decision-making in groups, but additional research is needed to determine the validity of the extension of this theory to groups that engage in unusual actions, such as health protests (PsycInfo Database Record (c) 2020 APA, all rights reserved)

在 COVID-19 大流行期间群体层面对健康要求的抵制：一种群体思维方法。

公共卫生干预措施，例如在流行期间强制接种疫苗或隔离，对于限制传染病的传播是必要的，但在许多情况下，某些团体抵制这些举措例如，在 2020 年 COVID-19 大流行期间，反检疫团体抗议要求保持社交距离并留在家中，声称这些指令侵犯了他们集会、旅行和工作的权利 目前的分析检查了媒体对这些反检疫团体的描述，以确定这些团体对法律和医学上有保证的健康倡议的不同反应是否源于群体思维：有时在群体中发生的判断力和理性的恶化 为了支持这种可能性，这些群体的描述表明 (a) 导致群体思维的条件，包括高度的凝聚力和孤立，在这些群体中存在并有效，并且 (b) 这些群体表现出群体思维的许多症状，包括群体幻觉和服从的压力 鉴于这些群体的普遍存在——几个世纪以来，公共卫生干预措施已经产生了相反的反监管反应——再多的计划也不足以阻止此类群体的发生 然而，基于群体思维的理论驱动方法表明，群体层面的干预措施直接解决导致群体思维的过程，例如孤立、从众压力和凝聚力，可以减少此类团体对其成员和社会的影响（PsycInfo Database Record (c) 2020 APA，保留所有权利）影响声明亮点和影响-*抗议在流行期间强制接种或隔离的公共卫生干预措施的团体可能正在经历群体思维：有时在高度凝聚力的群体中发生的判断力和理性的恶化*群体层面的过程与群体思维有关，例如高度凝聚力和孤立，这在 2020 年 COVID-19 大流行期间抗议医疗指令的反检疫团体中得到了证明 *限制此类群体中群体思维的群体级干预措施可以减少个体数量谁参加了与法律和医学上认可的健康倡议不一致的团体活动 *团体思维理论为团体决策提供了一般解释，但需要额外的研究来确定将这一理论扩展到从事不寻常行为（例如健康抗议）的群体的有效性（PsycInfo 数据库记录 (c) 2020 APA，保留所有权利）
