Crowd psychology is a branch of social psychology. Ordinary people can typically gain direct power by acting collectively. Historically, because large groups of people have been able to bring about dramatic and sudden social change in a manner that bypasses established due process, they have also provoked controversy. Social scientists have developed several different theories for explaining crowd psychology, and the ways in which the psychology of the crowd differs significantly from the psychology of those individuals within it. Carl Jung coined the notion of the Collective unconscious. Other major thinkers of crowd psychology include Gustave Le Bon, Wilfred Trotter, Gabriel Tarde, Sigmund Freud and Elias Canetti.

I was reading a book on self-management - it mentions to preserve your individualism and the way people are powerless to resist the powerful magnetism of the crowd.

Just do your own thing and forget the others. If you get it right more often than wrong you will be doing very well. That is the best most people can hope for. No one gets it right all the time, no matter how well intentioned. Follow your heart at all times. Answered by emeraldisle2222 - Thu Jul 31 18:16:58 2008 Whats the psychology of someone who competes?

It's just a motivation to succeed for your team, for yourself, and I don't think that it holds any psychological importance. I think it's just the way we're brought up (read social expectations), where sport is competitive and that's just how it is. But for competition on a personal level, whether for attention or about grades and stuff, it comes from the way they were brought up/who they are. Some people feel insecure and need to be make themselves feel good about the decisions that they make.
