The Psychology of Crowds
Briefly

Crowd dynamics theory provides insight into how individuals behave differently in large groups compared to when they are alone. This phenomenon includes mob behavior, swarm behavior, and herding behavior, often manipulated through social engineering techniques. With the rise of streaming services and large public venues, understanding crowd psychology—including emotional triggers and movement patterns—becomes essential. Companies specializing in crowd manipulation leverage these dynamics to influence opinions and actions, highlighting the importance of critical thinking and awareness among individuals participating in collective events.
When people gather in large groups, they often act in ways that are different from how they would behave individually.
Crowd psychology involves analyzing factors such as intensity, interactions, movement patterns, and emotional triggers stimulated within crowds.
