Infection or ” herd” mentality is one of the methods of group influence on the psyche.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
This method of integrating group activities occurs when there is a large crowd of people.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
One of its features is spontaneity – “everyone ran and I ran”.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
During psychic contagion, an emotional state is transmitted from one person to another on an unconscious level.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Examples:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n I liked a comment where there were a lot of likes, but I didn’t read the text until the end.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Wearing a T-shirt with the letter “Z” on it – everyone on the Internet wears them, although you don’t fully understand what they mean.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Bots use the “infection” mechanism.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Bots leave a lot of emotional comments under social media posts that cause psychological impact on a person in the process of interaction, which conveys certain moods, encourages a change of opinion\/mood through the emotional sphere rather than through consciousness and intelligence.<\/p>\n\n\n\n As a result, criticality to events and information disappears.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Infection or ” herd” mentality is one of the methods of group influence on the psyche.
