Groups That Chant Together, Stay Together
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 4 фев 2025
- If you've ever been part of a huge crowd, like at a sporting event, you've probably seen people clap, sing, and chant together in sync. How do big groups of individuals all manage to do the same thing at the same time, even when there's no one leading them? Well, it turns out, they kind of can't help it!

*All together!*

No
I always get the arm motions wrong
When we're part of a herd, we chant to be heard.
Moove it along. Nothing to chew on here. Just keep mooving.
That's why people in various forms of worship, recite liturgies.prayers,chants,hymns,etc....
There are unwritten rules about when churchgoers pause in the middle of liturgies and prayers, and everyone seems to know them except me.
So that is why I am still friends with people from my karaoke group but not with people I actually needed. Neat.
Tried scanning the comments quick, before watching the video. The first time, I read your's as karate, for some reason, but with the shouts, that might work too.
As a choir singer, I can completely relate. The pieces that require specific asynchrony are hard, and always end up in a pattern of some sort
Tobia Apolloni YES! Somebody singing a descant or pieces requiring singing in a round were very difficult for me in choir!
Cults have been exploiting this tendency long before psychologists began researching it.
Too true.
If by "cult" you mean basically every social group, but especially those with religious implications, then yes.

Those and the new climate doctrine!
@@VariantAEC .......genuinely can't tell which aspect you're referring too. If the denial side, indeed. If the side that's repeatedly shown through different methods, models, and fields of science that, if they do end up being wrong, the worst that happens if we act is a "whoops! Made the world more hospitable to life as we know it, reduced negative effects on public health, freed economies from dependence on foreign oil, and made the public more self-sufficient for their energy needs rather than being beholden to finite commodity based energy production on accident. Our bad," you clearly don't understand how science works.

This year CO2 concentrations reached a new record high.
Higher CO2 concentrations mean higher temperatures because the more CO2 you have in the air the more infrared radiation is left to bounce around inside the gaseous volume.
Unfortunately this years winter was not only unseasonably cool it was one of the coldest on record in North America.

Remember how only conservatives don't trust the mainstream media.

It is true that the polar vortex isn't exactly described accurately in this Wikipedia article but have no fear Wikipedia has an article all about the polar vortex here:
en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polar_vortex
Though according to NOAA climate change might not have been linked strongly enough to the polar vortex note how climate change and global warming isn't used in their explanation of the polar vortex:
www.noaa.gov/multimedia/infographic/science-behind-polar-vortex
It's also worth noting the polar vortex was first observed around the early 1850's which is before the industrial revolution.
This LA Times article mentions climate change twice but mentions experts one of which is a genuine climate scientist according to publically available UCLA records. That article: www.latimes.com/local/lanow/la-me-ln-cold-february-20190228-story.html
Unfortunately change isn't very strongly connected to the polar vortex.

IVE ALWAYS WONDERED WHY WE AUTOMATICALLY SYNC OUR CLAPPING THANK YOU SO MUCH
"People in groups tend to do things they dont normally do in public like chant, dance, or sing."
Or kill.
Edit: I posted this before it got dark. How could you monsters try to kill rolly pollys!
Madam your speech and concept delivery style and manner all are very impressive. Perfect All the best madam.
Yes! Thank you for saving the poor coffee from the sow bugs!

For a moment that sounded like an Onion headline...
I do not often mimic others and still am able to have empathy. I still think the things people do are stupid, thus actually explaining the fact that people are more likely to 'obey' just because they are doing stuff together. That's actually a bad thing though because that means if something causes you to do something together and the creator of it tells you either what you are not doing is bad and you should keep doing it even if it is bad, or to defend something that is inherently flawed and should be improved on, people will do that. I've experienced seeing other people do such.
this kind of explain Riot mobs too.
Kind of? It gets spot-on, lol
That is when this syncing gets strong enough to affect each individual's better judgment and control. Though true, you'd still be responsible in a court of law. There's also a tendency to want to applaud when those around you do, but sometimes we need to fight that urge, for the times when we do not actually agree with the crowd.
Additionally, other reasons we practiced Drill & Ceremonies (D&C) in the Army was a: marching is used to get the unit from place to place outdoors without being driven, b: marching is used during ceremonies and parades, c: marching in formation and changing formations on command gives excellent practice in listening for and executing orders, in addition to giving practice in giving orders, which are essential skills during combat operations. It was monotonous and sometimes frustrating, but essential in developing a soldier's skills and unit's cohesiveness and efficiency.
NINE NINE!
Ten?
I think this theory greatly discredits the "music" they were chanting/working to. Of course we love patterns but we love music and any kind of rhythm. It makes everything seem better.
On the picture of the people yawning, I yawned as well.
Same!
I went to my school’s middle school dance thing earlier in the year, and
We were all having a nice time ya know, chugging sprite, screeching like a bunch a banshees, typical stuff.
But when the song ‘cha cha slide. Pretty much every kid in there was either doing the cha cha slide or singing along, this also happened when the first verse of ‘truth hurts’ by Lizzo came on.
I never experienced this. Perhaps because I have autism?
I even don't experience those feelings or yawning things.
*aaaarrrrgh* earworm "Sweet Caroline" nonono why THAT one nooooo
Blame the Boston Red Sox.
I watched this while standing in my pantry, eating handfuls of smartfood from the bag.
That's actually how I learn how to sing polyphonically. When my voice was changing, I could only sing certain octaves, so I learnt to make harmonic melodies to companion the songs of others.
During the video I was trying to think of a song that a group could sing, obviously thought Sweet Caroline, but when she said it I was like woah, damn I gotta comment that
Haha the yawning image worked.
We will rock you.
3:06 in the 19th century, that was a main catalyst leading towards the proclamation of Germany
Whoever pressed the dislike button was acting out of sync with the rest of us.
If this were narrated from the point of view of an alien criticising humans and not human self-reflection it would make a neat episode of Star Trek
Wrestling crowds (WWE, AEW, etc.) display this in spades. Countless wrestlers have been moved to tears when the crowd of tens of thousands repeatedly chant in unison "YOU-DE-SERVE-IT!" after winning a title match. Or "YOU'VE-STILL-GOT-IT" when a beloved wrestler comes out of retirement. New chants appear all the time too. I started a "TAKE-A-SHOW-ER" chant at a local Toronto show when a wrestler came out in a sweat-stained shirt.
i like her voice :)
Great video! We need to tap into this as a species for good instead of... Well what we've always done.
Can you guys do a video on cptsd, I'd love for you guys to raise awareness on this condition x
sounds like us in the DOJO!
Are there studies between introversion or other "social awkwardness" and this "herd mentality"? Because I'm huge introvert and I almost completely lack this need to do what others around me do. It's not that I can't recognize it or can't do it (e.g. I find marching in rhythm very easy), but I lack the internal push or need to do it. Sometimes it feels embarrassing, because I'm the odd one out, but fortunately usually nobody notices, because they are so into the group activity (like chanting in a game).
4:19 BAH BAH BAH!
*YORKSHIRE! YORKSHIRE!!* YORK- ah.
What's with Stanford and the weird experiments? Is it related to driving 101? Or as they would say in SoCal, The 101?
We function better together. Collectively, with a tribal mentality. It's our greatest strength, as human beings. We were once a tribe, and then we got side tracked with things we invented to distract us from the meaning of existence. (Which is still debatable, but it certainly is NOT supposed to be about materialism, greed, power, fame, ect.)
Tribal mentality, or collective mindsets, function because that's what we originated from, as our greatest strength. There is nothing to take that from us except ourselves.
United we stand, divided we fall.
Toh teng jit ki ang ji kau!!
One of us
One of us
One of us
Why is it that I can't dance well with a group? 😂
There's this one species I met that does this even better than humans. The pack mentality is a great advantage for isolated tribes in their tundra jungles to work aggressively together to fight off large predators. But for living in a civilization, it's not so great. They're often in some kind of conflict with other groups. Thankfully this also means they haven't reached very far out into space.
how big of a group does it have to be to have any of these effects?
Spinach
Often misplaced, the word synchronicity appears on the thumb for this video. Synchronicity (German: Synchronizität) is a concept, first introduced by analytical psychologist Carl Jung, which holds that events are "meaningful coincidences" if they occur with no causal relationship yet seem to be meaningfully related.
The presenter however, uses synchrony correctly throughout the video.
Caveats. How many participants in these studies, where do the participants come from? It's hard to believe that a large enough sample was taken to rule out the arbitrarity of culture. I wouldn't doubt that there is a UG of social interaction, but the consequences of it are probably very arbitrary and contextual, they would have to be really or social evolution as seen in primates would be to costly to be viable. It's about flexibility.
🤔 thanks.
Can you do one on is ADHD real
Okay who else said "BAH BAH BAH" at 4:20 ?
Hi ho hi ho, off to kill bugs we go!
Would that be true for certain, cyclic body functions that you can't control? Like, can several women living together actually have their menstrual cycles sync up together?
There is absolutely no subtext here concerning current events in the US. ;)
I've experienced this! Just once, and about 10 years ago, but it was really cool.
One time at a theatre group retreat, we (about 50 or so kids in highschool) were told to walk around in a big room. We were told to start walking if we saw someone else start walking and we were not, or stop walking if we saw someone else stop walking and we were. in only a few minutes we could start and stop walking in sync, and not always even in regular intervals. No music was playing either so it was kinda eerie to watch a video someone took of it. It was the first and last time I ever felt like i "belonged" in a group. nothing has ever compared since, but boy do i wish i could feel that feeling of belonging again
All the way to the kool-aide ceremony.
Go mob!
Thumbs up for those who yawn seeing the pictures of people yawning
hive-mind
Unrelated but have you guys one any other channel done a PTSD seizure disorder or PTSD video? Just wondering.
Thats why sororities work
So psychology is playing catch up with social engineers, the military, neurology, and what else?
How would you expect Psychology, or any dicipline, to come first?
@Herbal Shaman conciousness is easy to figure out, what's not easy to figure out is if we are living inside a Boltzmann brain.
okay everybody chant for the old high priest

Survival of the species...huh...8 billion of us...I think we'e pretty much beyond survival now. Time to evolve in a way that will decrease the clutter now.
Cool!
Weird wordz. To say that a rate is in synch (I don't like this phrasing) is not to say that the BEATS are in sync.
I can't clap in sync. I can't even tap my foot in sync. Chronic is WBS fatal?
Beat deafness exist, which is a form of amusia. People who has it can't differentiate between musical rhythms or move in time to it, it only seems like you can't move in time to music. So that might be a possibility.
Sports/ Competitive spirit: the biggest social experiment failure.
Since someone must be a loser, it's benefits are selfish goals & breeds segregation.
Brit Garner is a dime 👌
Okay, how many of you evil people are thinking of ways of using this information to commit some awesome pranks?
this host looks like the more voluptuous slightly better looking Emma Stone.
But the true synchronization for Sweet Chlorine is not singing the "ba ba ba"s 🐢🐢🐢🐢🐢🐢🐢🐢🐢🐢🐢🐢🐢
is this why sub to pewdiepie got so powerful
Am I the only one who yawned?
Same thing happens with religious groups, except, well, we see what they do almost every day.
JTP? Anyone else think of that? No? Just me? Ok...

YASS This explains the fan chants of many Kpop fandoms; it strengthens the bond between the fans.
Flower Music17 It also explains the rivalry between many kpop fandoms. It’s like sports teams. People become very loyal to their team and they end up going at each other’s throats over the smallest things lol.
Anyone else yawn? 😂
A perfect excuse to create a cult! Who's with me!
Hello?
Anybody?
😔
😜
So tribalism has it's ups and downs.
