The experience of collective participation: shared identity, relatedness and emotionality (2011, background): “However, there is a risk that the emotionality of crowd action has been consequently underemphasised, preserving the reason–emotion dichotomy but reversing its direction (Reicher, 2001 , 2011 ).”
Collective Psychological Empowerment as a Model of Social Change: Researching Crowds and Power (2009, background): “Social identity researchers make the further point that, in traditional deindividuation research, anonymity is often treated as a state of group membership rather than a social relationship (Reicher, 2001; Reicher et al., 1995).”
Trends in the Turn to Affect (2015, background): “As Reicher (2001) argues, social identity and identification are a key to understanding this.”
Machine Vision and Social Media Images: Why Hashtags Matter (2020, methodology): “Drawing on Reicher (2001) and Wetherell (2015), we assume social identification as a crucial prerequisite for “copying affect of others,” having consequences for the amplification of certain visual representations of distant others.”
Social identity: The role of self in group processes and intergroup relations (2017, background): “Reicher argued, to the contrary, that crowd events are regulated by the social identity represented by those present at the event—people identify strongly with the identity and conform, through self-categorization, to its situationally nuanced prototype (Reicher, 2001).”

Motivational dynamics in language learning (2015, background): “Social psychologists working within Henri Tajfel and his student John Turner’s social identity theory (Tajfel & Turner, 1986) have similarly demonstrated that group affiliation has a significant impact on a wide range of issues, including stereotyping and prejudice (Brown, 2010), crowd behaviour (Re”
The psychology of crowd behaviour in emergency evacuations: Results from two interview studies and implications for the Fire and Rescue Services (2009, methodology): “The Elaborated Social Identity Model (ESIM) of crowd behaviour (Reicher, 2001) is derived from studies of crowd conflict (e.”
