| Summary | "The Behavior of Crowds: A Psychological Study" by Everett Dean Martin is a scientific publication written in the early 20th century. The work examines the psychological mechanisms behind crowd behavior, highlighting its implications for social dynamics and individual psychology. Martin addresses the growing concern of crowd mentality as a significant threat to civilization and explores how crowds can lead to irrational and destructive behaviors. The opening of the book begins with a foreword that sets the stage for the author's exploration of social psychology, drawing attention to the neglect of psychological forces in understanding social problems. Martin presents his belief that both individuals and society are interlinked entities, arguing against the notion that they are opposing principles. Through a nuanced discussion of crowd behavior, he posits that collective sentiment can overrule individual reasoning, leading to a crowd-mind characterized by unconscious motivations. The author establishes the groundwork for the subsequent chapters, which will delve deeper into the formation of crowds and their psychological dynamics.
