herd mentality

The inability or refusal to listen to one's own instinct or 'gut feeling' but to instead follow the majority for fear of being wrong, ostracized or ridiculed.

If a herd of animals were haded for a cliff, for the sake of a herd mentality, I doubt one would veer off or stop to save its own life.
