He considered this as a shortcoming from those authors who only considered the criminal aspect of crowd psychology. Le Bon theorised that the new entity, the "psychological crowd", which emerges from incorporating the assembled population not only forms a new body but also creates a collective "unconsciousness".

As a group of people gather together and coalesces to form a crowd, there is a "magnetic influence given out by the crowd" that transmutes every individual's behaviour until it becomes governed by the " group mind ". This model treats the crowd as a unit in its composition which robs every individual member of their opinions, values and beliefs; as Le Bon states: Le Bon detailed three key processes that create the psychological crowd: Anonymity provides to rational individuals a feeling of invincibility and the loss of personal responsibility.

An individual becomes primitive, unreasoning, and emotional. This lack of self-restraint allows individuals to "yield to instincts" and to accept the instinctual drives of their " racial unconscious ".

For Le Bon, the crowd inverts Darwin's law of evolution and becomes atavistic , proving Ernst Haeckel 's embryological theory: Contagion refers to the spread in the crowd of particular behaviours and individuals sacrifice their personal interest for the collective interest. Suggestibility is the mechanism through which the contagion is achieved; as the crowd coalesces into a singular mind, suggestions made by strong voices in the crowd create a space for the racial unconscious to come to the forefront and guide its behaviour.

At this stage, the psychological crowd becomes homogeneous and malleable to suggestions from its strongest members. They are not gifted with keen foresight They are especially recruited from the ranks of those morbidly nervous excitable half-deranged persons who are bordering on madness. George Lachmann Mosse claimed that fascist theories of leadership that emerged during the s owed much to Le Bon's theories of crowd psychology. Trotter's book Instincts of the Herd in Peace and War forms the basis for the research of both Wilfred Bion and Ernest Jones who established what would be called group dynamics.

During the first half of the twentieth century, Le Bon's writings were used by media researchers such as Hadley Cantril and Herbert Blumer to describe the reactions of subordinate groups to media. In his influential book Propaganda , he declared that a major feature of democracy was the manipulation of the electorate by the mass media and advertising. Theodore Roosevelt as well as Charles G. Dawes and many other American progressives in the early 20th century were also deeply affected by Le Bon's writings.
