When do people stop looking out for each other? Why don’t groups use constructive criticism? With the help of AI, psychologist J. Lukas Thürmer is investigating how people behave in groups and when working in teams. His focus is on the question of how teams react to individuals who deviate from the norm.

Based on the hypothesis that only people who act for the good of the group accept others’ opinions, Thürmer is examining how exactly groups work together and make decisions. His analyses can help to develop tools for solution-oriented behavior in groups, so that goals can be reached to the satisfaction of everyone in the group.
