Abstract

The article discusses the possible influence of the group upon the mental processes of the individual. It explores the social influence, and reflects vagueness in the social sciences with respect to important matters towards ideals of precision in other disciplines. It also discusses issues such as personification in the group mind and usage of institutional fallacy which are trying to examine and learn what sort of reality the referents of these words might actually have. It is concluded that the interpretation of action will be a help in translating the working program of group dynamics into more rational form.
