When Going Along With the Crowd Means Violating Your Values

by Dr. Lynn Margolies

 

Check out my Psychology Today article about the psychology of how people react to witnessing violence.

https://www.psychologytoday.com/us/blog/therapy-insider/202305/how-a-cry-for-help-led-to-a-murder-on-the-subway

This article on Psychology Today: "The Psychology of How We React to Witnessing Violence" is an extension of my letter published in the Boston Globe about how cries for help led to murder on a NY subway.

This article offers perspective on why people go along with what others are doing even when those actions go against their own values, and sometimes even humanity.

Learn about the psychology of people’s reactions to witnessing violence, and how pluralistic ignorance and trauma impact the way people behave in group situations.
