內容試閱:
What constitutes a crowd from the psychological point of
view--Anumerically strong agglomeration of individuals does not
suffice to form acrowd--Special characteristics of psychological
crowds--The turning in a fixeddirection of the ideas and sentiments
of individuals composing such a crowd, andthe disappearance of
their personality--The crowd is always dominated byconsiderations
of which it is unconscious--The disappearance of brain activityand
the predominance of medullar activity--The lowering of the
intelligence andthe complete transformation of the sentiments--The
transformed sentiments maybe better or worse than those of the
individuals of which the crowd iscomposed--A crowd is as easily
heroic as criminal.
In its ordinary sense the word "crowd" means a gathering of
individuals ofwhatever nationality, profession, or sex, and
whatever be the chances that havebrought them together. From the
psychological point of view the expression"crowd"
assumes quite a different
signification. Under certain givencircumstances,
and only under those circumstances, an agglomeration of menpresents
new characteristics very different from those of the
individualscomposing it. The sentiments and ideas of all the
persons in the gathering takeone and the same direction, and their
conscious personality vanishes. A collectivemind is formed,
doubtless transitory, but presenting very clearly
definedcharacteristics. The gathering has thus become what, in the
absence of a betterexpression, I will call an organized crowd, or,
if the term is consideredpreferable, a psychological crowd. It
forms a single being, and is subjected to theLAW OF THE MENTAL
UNITY OF CROWDS.
It is evident that it is not by the mere fact of a number
of individuals findingthemselves accidentally side by side that
they acquire the character of anorganized crowd. A thousand
individuals accidentally gathered in a public placewithout any
determined object in no way constitute a crowd from
thepsychological point of view. To acquire the special
characteristics of such acrowd, the influence is necessary of
certain predisposing causes of which weshall have to determine the
nature.
