crowd behavior

Crowd behavior refers to how groups of people act collectively, often influenced by the environment, emotions, and social dynamics. When in a crowd, individuals may experience shifts in emotions, attention, and decision-making, sometimes leading to actions they wouldn't normally undertake alone. Factors such as excitement, stress, or perceived threats can cause behaviors like heightened enthusiasm or impulsiveness. Understanding crowd behavior helps manage safety and predict group reactions during events or emergencies, emphasizing the importance of leadership, clear communication, and environment design to promote positive and safe interactions.
