Answer 1

Crowd Theory is mainly concerned about the behaviour of the individual in the crowd. As per Le Bon's Theory of Crowd Behavior, the behaviour of individual when he is alone is different from the behaviour when he is in crowd. The major reason behind the difference is Group. An individual's emotion, spontaneity and enthusiasm is at different level when he is in group.

He acts, feels and thinks in a different way in a group. The major emotions of individual like fear, anger and rage are at its peak when he is in a group. He shows the most enthusiastic and emotional behaviour when in a group.
