"people behave differently in a crowd than they do when they are alone"

Explanation:

According to the contagion theory, the behaviors that displayed by the majority of group members could influenced the behaviors of the minorities.

This happen because those minority members feel pressured to conform to the groups' standard of behavior in order to be liked/not considered as an outcast.

Because of this, people tend to behave differently in a crowd thatn they do when they are alone. Behaviors that we do when we think no one can see us tend to be the ones that represent us the most.
