Night Aboard the Space Station
On this in psychology (1938)
A radio adaptation of the H.G. Wells alien invasion classic ‘The War of the Worlds’ was broadcast across the United States. The dramatization was so realistic it was said to have caused widespread panic due to people thinking that they were listening to a real live news report. The following day, The New York Times reported that 'A wave of mass hysteria seized thousands of radio listeners between 8:15 and 9:30 o’clock last night.’
What became known as 'the most famous radio show of all time’ was the focus of Hadley Cantril’s book 'The Invasion from Mars: A Study in the Psychology of Panic’ first published in 1940, in which he states that at least six million people heard the broadcast, of whom around a million were frightened or disturbed.
Contemporary analysis of the events following the broadcast; however, suggest that levels of panic and hysteria were nothing like as pervasive as reported at the time.
