Le Bon: The mass is a formation which has an independent personality, and the individuals belonging in it, loose their own ones…
Goal: To prosper in the social world= to detect it predictable (=look behind the surface, to know and to recognize the working mechanism of the social processes!)
The „Le Bon law”:A group’s performance, opinion, or act will always converge to the
weakest member’s level…
THE HUMAN MASS:
Fundamental attributional error… (individual in mass…– but it does not discharge!)
Hidden curriculum…: In Hungary the behavioral sciences ar not respected so well… - but it’impossible to change others…; so keep attention and effort on you: Do not stand in the line…!
Team work – see also at Janis’s „Group-thinking phenomenon”!

Formation into groups:
• Sherif
• In a summer camp immediately burn a group-consciousness between two randomly raffled children group – The „blue” started hating the „reds” and similar the opposit…
Groups and values…:• The groups we feel belong to, and from we
accept and get our values to follow
• Primary & secondary groups – family, school, work place, etc.= received values
• Reference groups – freinds, political party, etc= choosen values
• Basic need for belong somewhere –See Sherif’s experiment, individual psychology…
• Be conscious – see later in developmental psychology Erickson’s theory

VALUES:
Guidlenes – Reference points
AFTER ANALYSIS/COGNITION/DISCOVER
THEM…!
Social roles (came from values):
• Roles – dad, boss, husband, mommy, girlfreind, etc.

Scenarios&roles helps us to organize our behavior
in different social situations
The „group decision” phenomenon:
• Janis
• „How could we be so stupid?” (Kennedy…, after the fiasco of invasion against Cuba in the „Pig bay”)
Symptoms:
• Convergence
• Polarization – the group’s opinion is becoming more&more extreme
• Self-appointed censors
• Push against the oppositors
Defense:
• Counsciously play the „devil’s advocat” role
• Promote the unconfused discussion

GROUPS/GROUP THINKING PHENOMENON – practical benefits:
Groups of patients, nurses, colleages…
Human groups – see/compare with stereotypes, perception conducted by schemas!
Consiliums…
Leader’s decisions
Meetings
Group meetings / common, shared learning (danger of polarization into bad direction…)
To be a doctor = Social rank, but also responsibility – HUMILITY…!!
What for you can use a pen in addition to the scriptures…?

Social facilitation vs inhibition= achievment under presence of others, more exactly when
others are paying attention to us, to our achievment – or, if we think, they do
• The achievement will be better in case of delivering rutine task
• The achievement will be worst in case of delivering complicated task
• On brainstormings:first alone, then in group – to
avoid the inhibition!
SOCIAL FACILITATION/INHIBITION – practical benefits:
Brainstormings – pl. in case of concilium (meetings) eg. first share the information, send it to the participants before common discussion –
prepare individually for the meeting
Commonlearning (first read the material individually, alone)
Researches in teams
During examination… - calm down: does not apply the inhibitor effect, because everebody is working on his own material (the don’t pay
attention!)
Questions..?
Which line is the longest?
A B C
Conformism:
• Solomon Asch
• At least once 74% of the participants adapted, followed
the clearly wrong answer
• But if they had even just 1 „partner”, it „helped” them
significantly to stand by their view!

CONFORMISM – PRACTICAL practical benefits:
Diagnostics / Concilums… (see: obedience to the prestige!)
Shared development of exam’ themes – Often happens that a „stupidity” is marching along the group… (or „cribing” on written exam
could result the same…)
Follow of the religional or political theories – see: conscious thinking & Erickson’s developmental theory at developmental psychology
Ostracism in any case – let’s talk about students or colleagues(See: „Don’t hurt” ethical principle…!, &. see. „group decision’s
phenomenon!)
