Collective hysteria is a phenomenon where a group experiences intense emotional arousal, often characterized by fear, anxiety, or excitement. This shared emotional state spreads rapidly among individuals within the group, leading to irrational behavior, panic, or mass hysteria. Triggered by perceived threats or a shared belief, collective hysteria amplifies emotional reactions, causing a temporary breakdown of rationality and contributing to a contagion of emotional distress within the group. This phenomenon underscores the powerful impact of social dynamics on individual emotions and behaviors in specific situations.
