Summary Introduction

Introduction

Humans are social animals. From basic survival needs to social clubs and professional organizations, groups provide the strength in numbers which humans seem to need. However, groups can have a dark side. From diffusion of responsibility to polarization of beliefs to groupthink, the psychology of a group can be very different from that of its individual members. Unfortunately, individuals sometimes change their behaviors when in groups, often negatively.
