Tonight on Off The Hook, we discuss the term “Mob Mentality ”

Oftentimes, people get caught up in the violent actions of a group and do things they might never do alone. This is known as mob mentality

Inspired by the recent looting occurring in South Africa, One of the dangers of mob mentalities is the type of influence it can have. According to research about mob mentality, a small population within the mob makes the informed decisions that other people conform to. The larger the group gets, the fewer informed members there are. This situation can become dangerous.
