Whose belief is it?
Hi everyone~. In the following sentences, whose "belief" do you think it is?
The participants? Or "you"?
What I'd like to know is this :
The participants who believe that they cannot be caught? OR
You have many participants and you believe that you cannot be caught?
Thanks for sharing your idea in advance~
The human brain is also susceptible to participating in negative behavior when it perceives it to be prevalent. This is very common in riot situations. Individuals who normally would never participate get caught up in the pattern of behavior being modeled by the masses. The term going viral is the Internet version of mass hysteria. Many who participate with inciting comments are singled out to be the perpetrators; however, those who swing by the site to see what all the rave is about are also participants. The work of Dan Ariely at Duke University clearly illustrates that
when you have increasing numbers of participants in an action, coupled with the belief that you cannot be caught, you have all the elements for mass participation.
