ABSTRACT:
A method and apparatus are disclosed for minority view reduction including a plurality of user controlled assemblies each with means for producing a positive response, a negative responses and a system inhibit response, a group attitude indicator means for registering the collective user positive responses, negative responses and for inhibiting further registration of either positive and negative responses with any system disable response. Communication is provided between the group attitude indicator and each of the user control assemblies for indicating to the group the registered collective responses and inhibiting the registering means upon determination of any system inhibit response from any member of the group. The user control assemblies may be hand-held button panels or microswitch means positioned at the maxillary jaw muscles. The indicator means can be a column of lights or a pair of lights each of whose brilliance is controlled in accordance with the responses. The indicator can be means for producing sound. The system provides a teaching method and apparatus for active promotion of consensus by noting and reducing the size of any anonymously expressed minority. This is accomplished by modeling the resulting response from a group of persons as though it were the response from a single person.
