crowd psychology
Crowd psychology studies how individuals behave in groups, often leading to actions that differ from their behavior alone. Factors like anonymity, group dynamics, and social influence can cause people to conform to the crowd's emotions and actions, sometimes resulting in impulsive or irrational behavior.
This phenomenon can be observed in various situations, such as protests, concerts, or sports events. Understanding crowd psychology helps explain why large groups may act in unison, whether in support of a cause or during chaotic events, highlighting the power of collective behavior and shared emotions among individuals.
