This attempts to explain how the thoughts, feelings, and behaviour of individuals are influenced by the actual, imagined, or implied presence of others. It has many aspects, from the identity that people derive from belonging to groups – whether of gender, tribe, team, profession or even religion – through the self-esteem we get by comparing ourselves with others.

They were closely followed by work on the bystander effect which is also highly relevant to crime and security.
