Anthony Mawson provides a comprehensive review and synthesis of the mass panic and disaster literature and offers a social attachment model that recognizes the gregarious nature of human beings and the primacy of attachments. He argues that the typical response to threat and danger is neither fight nor flight, nor social breakdown, but increased affiliation and camaraderie.
