Good day dear community, I hope you are all doing well and you had a great start to the weekend and a day full of interesting experiences! Today I would like to discuss psychology and hope you are able to expand your knowledge.
Within social psychology, there is an area that has specifically focused on further analysing the behavior of people in the group and is also known as group psychology and this topic is accompanied by numerous phenomena. When people are in a group, they tend to show a completely different behavior and this leads to different decisions being made than if they were alone and there is also a sense of belonging and if certain actions are not fulfilled, there is a strong pressure on the individual and the way of thinking changes in this regard that people try to correspond to the values of the group, which are usually influenced by one or more people. There is always a kind of leading wolf in groups that sets certain values and when people have similar intentions within the group, it comes to the fact that certain things are reinforced and certain ideologies are even more deeply anchored and the group orients itself in a certain direction and this also leads to an irrational way of thinking and people are being guided to actions that they would not otherwise carry out. Among those who try to distance themselves from the ideology of the group, there are often attacks and the individual is suggested that if this should not participate in a certain action, it will be excluded from the group and this dynamic that arises as a result is often more complex than expected and it happens that people who try to distance themselves from a group, are strongly misguided and often spontaneous decisions even lead to this irrational way of thinking being even more reinforced. It suggests that people in groups are always different and it is not possible to get to know people properly in this form and if you want to get in touch with the individual, they should always be alone. In the group, it also happens that people feel safer and this is particularly interesting from a psychological point of view and leads to the fact that certain facts are ignored and a topic is not analyzed correctly and these phenomena actually occur pretty much everywhere where many people connect with each other and groups are created. People in the group often feel particularly strong due to the feeling of security that is conveyed and often certain individuals suffer from this fact and are often attacked by the group when they have other opinions and this toxic behavior through the irrational way of thinking relieves itself again when people are alone and they notice, how they were influenced by the will of others and already in old cultures, it was already known that in reality the weak is actually the strong.
Many thanks for stopping and I hope you could learn something new about psychology! I captured these pictures with my Camera Sony Alpha 6000 plus 55-210 mm lens.
