Cosy Science presents: Don't panic! debunking common myths about crowd behaviour
In this talk Chris will cover historical backgrounds to psychological theories of crowd behaviour and how they have developed into the Social Identity Model, which is currently the dominant approach in the study of the psychology of crowd behaviour. He will show how early models that argued for the inherent irrationality of crowds are flawed, not only because they reflect a negative ideological bias, but also because they are not supported by current empirical studies of crowd behaviour over the last 30 years by social psychologists. He will illustrate my points with examples of crowd behaviour from public order situations...

Thinking fast and slow
Two systems drive the way we think and make choices: system one is fast, intuitive, and emotional; system two is slower, more deliberative, and more logical. Nobel Prize winner Daniel Kahneman will argue that only by understanding how the two systems work together, can we learn the truth about the role of optimism in opening up a new business, and the psychological pitfalls of playing the stock market.

Why Everyone (Else) Is a Hypocrite:.
