Synopsis A Psychological Critique of the Concept of the “Masses” The significance of the “mass”-concept for psychology may be criticized not only as to its employment in the renowned work of Le Bon, who attempted to analyze the behavior of “actual masses”. Critique is also to be directed against the conception of the “ecological masses”, as found for instance in the works of Ortega y Gasset (1930) and H. de Man (1951), whereby “ecological” is to be understood in the sense of determined by external circumstances. According to such theories, a “mass-mind” in the psychological sense is created by three factors: (1) the great number of persons living in a given area, (2) the crowdedness of living conditions, and (3) the uniform influence of the mass-media. The grave error under lying this concept is that “reality” for every human being consists not in the sum of the circumstances of his life, to be recorded by ideally ex haustive scientific observation, but in the “world view”, which each indi vidual develops for himself in the course of his experiences. This is determined by his motivation-influenced, always fragmentary, highly selective perception and cognition. It follows that from “objective” ecological conditions, considered fundamental in most works dealing with the “masses”, no scientific valid conclusions as to psychological conse quences can be drawn. This means that such works may have value as philosophical opinions or commentary, but are without any real value for scientific psychology. It may also be suggested that in sociology and economics the concept of the “masses” should be freshly examined, to determine whether it is actually of value to these disciplines, in spite of its negative connotations.
