There is limited research on the types of crowds and crowd membership, and no consensus exists on their classification. Two scholars, Momboisse (1967) and Berlonghi (1995), focused on the purpose of existence to differentiate among crowds. Momboisse identified four types: casual, conventional, expressive, and aggressive. Berlonghi classified crowds as spectator, demonstrator, or escaping, based on the purpose of gathering.

Another approach to classifying crowds is Herbert Blumer's system of emotional intensity. He distinguishes four types of crowds: casual, conventional, expressive, and acting. His dynamic system suggests that a crowd's level of emotional intensity changes over time, allowing it to be classified into any of the four types.

Generally, researchers in crowd psychology have focused on the negative aspects of crowds, but not all crowds are volatile or negative. For instance, early socialist movement crowds were instructed to dress formally and march silently. Similarly, the sit-ins during the Civil Rights movement were peaceful. Crowds can reflect and challenge the ideologies of their sociocultural environment and serve integrative social functions, creating temporary communities.

Thank you for your feedback! I've been having trouble with this assignment so this is well needed. TLT
