Herd Psychology
Scholar Axi has conducted herd psychology experiments. As a result, only 1/4~1/3 of the subjects in the test population did not have herd behavior and maintained Independence. It can be seen that it is a common psychological phenomenon. Herdity is a quality of will that is opposed to independence; people with strong herdity lack their own opinions, are susceptible to hints, and are prone to accept other people's opinions and put them into practice without analysis.
There are a lot of people who follow the crowd in life, and there are also people who use people's herd psychology to achieve a certain goal. Some commercial advertisements use people's herd psychology to stir up their products to achieve their goals. There are indeed some shocking events in life that will cause a sensation, and the masses are competing to spread, discuss, and participate. But there are also many situations that are artificially propagated and exaggerated that have aroused public attention. Often when public opinion "fires", people are easy to follow the "hot". Advertising and news media reports are normal things, but people with a conformity mentality often follow along to "join the fun."
"Submitting" certain propaganda effects without analysis, to the "herd" behavior of following the crowd, and even the development of "blind obedience", this is already an unhealthy mentality. More independent thinking spirit, less blindly following the crowd, so as not to be deceived, it is a healthy mentality.
