Suggestibility, "contagion of thought," the hypnotic influence of the group upon the individual through their subconscious are identified as the means through which group psychology is manifested. The intimidation of individuals, or conversely, the removal of inhibitions by proximity to a group, are discussed in relation to organizations such as churches or armies, or nations, for instance. References to other contemporary psychologists on the topic, cf. LeBon, McDougall, Berheim, Schopenhauer et al.
