What do fads, crazes, manias, urban legends, moral panics, riots, stampedes, and other mass expressions of emotion have in common? By creating a typology of such behavior, past and present, the authors show how common extraordinary group reactions to fear or excitement are. And they offer insights into how these sometimes dangerous mob responses can be avoided. We may not be surprised to read about the peculiarities of the European Middle Ages, when superstition was commonplace: like the meowing nuns of France, 'tarantism' (a dancing mania) in Italy, or the malicious anti-Semitic poison-well scares. But similar phenomena show up in our own era. Examples include the social-networking hysteria of 2012, which resulted in uncontrollable twitching by teenage girls in Leroy, NY; the 'phantom bus terrorist' of 2004 in Vancouver, Canada; and the itching outbreak of 2000 in South Africa. Vivid, detailed, and thoroughly researched, this is a fascinating overview of collective human behavior in its many unusual forms"--$$cProvided by publisher. 000775745 588__ $$aDescription based on print version record. 000775745 650_0 $$aCollective behavior$$xHistory. 000775745 650_0 $$aSocial psychology$$xHistory. 000775745 650_0 $$aDelusions$$xSocial aspects$$xHistory. 000775745 650_0 $$aFear$$xSocial aspects$$xHistory. 000775745 650_0 $$aMobs$$xPsychological aspects$$xHistory. 000775745 650_0 $$aPopular culture$$xPsychological aspects$$xHistory. 000775745 7001_ $$aHassall, Peter,$$eauthor. 000775745 77608 $$iPrint version:$$aBartholomew, Robert E.$$tColorful history of popular delusions.$$dAmherst, New York : Prometheus Books, 2015$$z9781633881228$$w(DLC) 2015018990$$w(OCoLC)904459876 000775745 852__ $$bacq 000775745 85280 $$bebk$$hEBSCOhost 000775745 85640 $$3eBooks on EBSCOhost$$uhttps://univsouthin.idm.oclc.org/login?url=http://search.ebscohost.com/login.aspx?direct=true&scope=site&db=nlebk&AN=960374$$zOnline Access 000775745 909CO $$ooai:library.usi.edu:775745$$pGLOBAL_SET 000775745 980__ $$aEBOOK 000775745 980__ $$aBIB 000775745 982__ $$aEbook 000775745 983__ $$aOnline 000775745 994__ $$a92$$bISE
