Resumo(s)
The participation and collective effervescence in crowd events is a perennial issue in
social sciences, however it has scarcely been researched from the point of view of
the attendees. This article helps to fill the gap with an exploratory descriptive study
based on a sample of 1,553 respondents from 40 countries. The authors analyse seven
different types of events and also describe the various participation levels, whether
people go there alone or in company, and their reasons for attending. Globally, the
results show several specific patterns: (a) the majority of the participants often go to
collective events, but different events have different levels of participation; (b) people
rarely go alone to collective events, but the company depends on the type of event; (c)
although the results show it is not necessary to like the event to trigger participation,
people have different reasons for going to different events. The article concludes with
a cluster analysis that details the links between attendance, company, and reasons to
attend, according to the socio-demographic factors.
