Crowds 'pick leaders to follow'
By Roger Highfield, Science Editor
The Telegraph, 14/02/2008

People in crowds behave just like sheep, scientists claim, by blindly
following one or two people who seem to know where they are going.

Researchers at Leeds University believe their findings could have important
applications, notably in the management of disasters.

The team, led by Prof Jens Krause, conducted a series of experiments in
which volunteers were told to walk randomly around a large hall without
talking to each other. A select few were then given more detailed
instructions.

The results published today show that it takes a minority of just 5 per cent
of what they called "informed individuals" to influence the direction of a
crowd of a minimum of 200 people. The remaining herd of 95 per cent follow
without realising it.

"There are strong parallels with animal grouping behaviour," says Prof
Krause, who reports the work with John Dyer in the Animal Behaviour Journal,
with colleagues at the Universities of Oxford and Wales Bangor.

"We've all been in situations where we get swept along by the crowd but what
's interesting about this research is that our participants ended up making
a consensus decision despite the fact that they weren't allowed to talk or
gesture to one another.

"In most cases the participants didn't realise they were being led by others
."

The work follows another study by Dr Simon Reader of Utrecht University that
showed that most of us are happy to play follow-my-leader, even if we are
trailing after someone who does not really know where they are going.

"Even more striking, that study found that even when we are shown a faster
route, we still prefer to stick with the old one and tell others to take the
long road too.

That discovery could have lethal implications when it comes to evacuating a
building or ship in an emergency, when people would likely stick to the
familiar evacuation route, even if slower than an alternative.

xixi, 想起著名的这段：

我不會使你停留在死蔭的幽谷，我仍與你同行，
帶領你行過死蔭的幽谷，你必不怕遭害，因為我與你同在，
我要用我的杖，我的竿來安慰你，我要在你敵人面前為你擺設筵席，
而且要用油膏你的頭，使你的福杯滿溢。

我也觉得从众现象大概从鱼那会儿就形成了。
