Gustave Le Bon was a French social psychologist, sociologist, and amateur physicist who made significant contributions to the field of crowd psychology.
He authored several influential works exploring national traits, racial theories, and herd behavior.
Le Bon's theories on crowd psychology and collective behavior gained widespread attention and continue to influence modern understanding of group dynamics.
His work often emphasized the irrational and emotional nature of crowds, as well as the power of suggestion in mass movements.
Although some of his ideas are now considered controversial or outdated, Le Bon's impact on the study of social psychology and mass behavior remains significant.
