Can you start me off with some examples of illusions of unanimity for non-smokers then I will post the other ones that I come up with to see if they are right please.
It works the other way around: First you post what you have thought of so far, and then someone here can try to suggest more. No use wasting someone's time suggesting ideas you've already thought of.
Can u provide me with at least one example of illusions of unanimity for nonsmokers so I know where I can begin
I don't even know what you mean by "illusions of unanimity" -- and how is that connected with "nonsmokers"?
"illusions of unanimity for nonsmokers" = ? You need to explain these unusual terms.
Illusions of unanimity means thatamong group members, silence is viewed as agreement.
We then have to put examples on how nonsmokers are affected by illusions of unanimity.
When you enter a restaurant ...
When you are within 20 feet of the door of a classroom or a storefront (and smoking is allowed only outdoors) ...
You can think of more.
Certainly! Illusions of unanimity refer to situations where individuals mistakenly believe that everyone else shares the same opinion or viewpoint, even when this is not the case. Here's an example specifically related to non-smokers:
Example of an illusion of unanimity for non-smokers:
Let's say you are in a group discussion where the topic is whether smoking should be banned in outdoor public spaces. Most of the people in the group express their strong opposition to smoking and advocate for a ban. However, you strongly believe that smoking should be allowed in outdoor spaces. Despite disagreeing with the majority, you might feel hesitant to speak up and share your viewpoint because everyone else seems to be against smoking. You might assume that everyone in the group is in agreement and that your opinion is in the minority, leading to an illusion of unanimity.
Now, go ahead and share any other examples you have, and I will let you know if they match the concept of illusions of unanimity or provide guidance on how to identify the phenomenon.
