Abstract

Bu çalışmanın amacı, "12 Kızgın Adam" filmindeki grup dinamiği ve karar verme sürecini mikro düzeyde eleştirel söylem analizi ile incelemektir. Çalışma, grup içindeki bir üyenin toplu kararlar üzerindeki etkisini ve yüz yüze grup tartışmasının ilk savunucunun etkisini araştırmayı amaçlamaktadır. Filmin ana karakteri olan Henry'nin liderlik davranışı, azınlık pozisyonunda olmasına rağmen grubu etkileyerek tartışma platformu oluşturmasını sağlar. Henry, farklı konuları ele alarak çoğunluk arasında fikir ayrılıkları yaratır ve bu sayede her üyenin düşünce tarzını anlayarak konuşmalarını şekillendirir. Henry'nin azınlık etkisi ile gruptaki durumu açıklanabilir; çünkü başlangıçta sadece kendisi "suçsuz" oyu kullanarak çoğunluğa uymamıştır. Ancak daha sonra kararında tutarlı davranarak grubun düşüncelerinin ve oylarının değişmesine neden olmuştur. Bu çalışma, grup dinamikleri ve iletişimin karmaşıklığını anlamak açısından önemli bir örnek sunmaktadır ve liderliğin azınlık etkisi üzerindeki rolünü vurgulamaktadır.

ANALYZING THE CONCEPT OF MINORITY INFLUENCE IN GROUP DECISION MAKING THROUGH “12 ANGRY MEN” FILM

Abstract

The aim of this study is to examine the group dynamics and decision-making process in the movie "12 Angry Men" with a micro-level critical discourse analysis. The study aims to explore the influence of a member within the group on collective decisions and the influence of the first advocate of face-to-face group discussion. The leadership behavior of Henry, the main character of the movie, influences the group despite being in a minority position, and provides a platform for discussion. By tackling different topics, Henry creates differences of opinion among the majority, thereby understanding the thinking of each member and shaping their speech. Henry's position in the group can be explained by his minority influence; because in the beginning only he did not comply with the majority by voting "not guilty". However, he later acted consistently in his decision, causing the group's thoughts and votes to change. This study provides an important example for understanding the complexity of group dynamics and communication and highlights the role of leadership in minority influence.
