Preferred term

collective information sampling  

Definition

  • Early conceptualizations of collective information sampling (CIS) arose in the mid-1980s in an attempt to give insight into the nature of communication processes and information management within decision-making groups. Garold Stasser and William Titus found that members of decision-making groups tend to communicate and discuss information that all members already know in common (shared information) at the expense of discussing information that individual members may uniquely know (unshared information).
