Group Syntality - Causes, Effects, Manifestations

Abstract

Each group differs from the others, and the difference consists of its own characteristics, which do not represent a simple sum of the characteristics of the individuals that make up the group. The syntality of the group makes individuals lose their importance - when we talk about collective behaviors - and what matters is rather the group as a whole, which is able to create collective behaviors, as a result of the languages, codes and rituals that characterize the group. Syntality predicts the behavior of the group starting from its constituents, as mentioned above. The article aims to analyze the psycho-social dimensions of group syntality, in terms of its causes, effects and manifestations.
