The Perception and Classification of Collective Behavior

Russell, Gordon W.

Journal of Social Psychology, 87, 2, 219-227, Aug 72

A classificatory model of collective behavior based upon perceptual dimensions was proposed. The four major dimensions found to underlie a domain of collective phenomena were identified as: (a) Violence, (b) Amorphous-Focused, (c) Anomie, and (d) Ideology. Potentially predictive aspects of the system were examined briefly. (Author)
