Marcy is six years old. She dreads going to first grade because she worries all day that her parents are going to die while she is at school. She often worries so much that she develops nausea. At home, she clings to her parents, following them everywhere. She is deeply concerned about death and dying and wants her mommy to stay with her when she goes to sleep. She is suffering from disorder.

Recall that in one condition of the experiment conducted by stasser and titus (1985) about student council president candidates, all group members had access to the same information, and that in another condition, members had unique information that other group members didn't know. in the second (unshared information) condition, the group made a worse decision than in the first (shared information) condition. this occurred because groups seldom can agree on who is most expert. focus discussion on the information that all members know. often ignore dissenting opinions. avoid differences of opinion, given conformity pressures.
