State
Collective behavior is noninstitutionalized group activity that several or many people engage in voluntarily, outside any formal institution's direction.

Watch for
Collective behavior is voluntary and noninstitutionalized; behavior organized by a formal institution, like a scheduled parade permit, falls outside the term.
