Collective Behaviour Theory

Collective Behavior Theory explains how people behave in groups during events like protests, crowds, or rumors. It suggests that individuals, when in a group, may act differently than they would alone due to shared emotions, social influences, or the desire for belonging. This behavior isn’t planned but emerges spontaneously, driven by collective feelings or situations. Essentially, it emphasizes that group dynamics can lead to behaviors that are unpredictable and often temporary, influenced more by the group's situation than by individual personalities.
