Collective Behavior is a book written by Richard LaPiere that explores the various forms of collective behavior that occur in society. The book delves into the social psychology behind group dynamics, examining how individuals behave differently when they are part of a group versus when they are alone. LaPiere discusses the different types of collective behavior, including crowds, riots, social movements, and panics, and examines the factors that contribute to their formation and development. He also explores the role of social norms, beliefs, and values in shaping collective behavior, as well as the impact of technology and media on group dynamics. Throughout the book, LaPiere draws on a wide range of examples and case studies to illustrate his points, making it an engaging and informative read for anyone interested in understanding the complexities of human behavior in group settings.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
