Derren Brown Crowd Experiment: A Response from two Social Psychologists
We would like to dispute in the strongest possible terms the theoretical underpinnings and proposed implications from Derren Browncrowd experiment The Gameshow aired on Channel 4 on 28/10/11. Brown second instalment in his series of experiments was designed to show us how being anonymous in a crowd can, in his words, turn perfectly nice people into internet bullies, or rioters, or hooligans. To demonstrate, audience members were led to believe they were participating in a new interactive game show in which the fate of an unwitting member of the public was placed in their hands. The target was a old man who was out for a drink with some friends. Â Along with various actors, the man friends were in on the plan and were in contact with the studio via hidden earpieces.
Throughout the show, the audience were presented with a choice between two scenarios (one positive and one negative) for the man. The severity of the negative outcomes increased throughout the episode, and ranged from being mistakenly charged for an extra round of drinks, to being kidnapped by a gang of thugs. The audience chose the scenario with a negative outcome each time, and for Brown, this was evidence of the moral depravity that inevitably follows anonymity in crowds.

Crowd psychology? Wasn't Jim Morrison of the Doors into that. He even experimented with it a few times. Miami for one...

You mean where he whipped out his cock out on stage and caused a riot? I think he got the idea from some of the avant garde plays at the time. The players on stage would interact with the audience directly. Sometimes in the nude.Â

A game for the 'gods'.
Â
Â
The anonymous audience awakes to the stream.
Reeling in the players on the stage out into the crowd.
Flashes like roman candles blaze in the sky.
Sending beams of light into the shadows.
Revealing to all who it is that holds the strings.
