Hinds Theory

Hinds' Theory describes how the size and experience of a group influence individuals' behavior within it. Essentially, as groups become larger and more experienced, people tend to be more cautious, less impulsive, and more conforming to norms. Conversely, smaller or less experienced groups often exhibit more risk-taking and individualistic behavior. This theory helps explain dynamics in various settings, such as organizations or social groups, by highlighting how group composition impacts decision-making and interaction patterns.
