These are actually distinct concepts within psychology. Related, but definitely different things and based on research spanning decades. Not all of it is great research and it wouldn’t surprise me if some of these concepts are flat out incorrect, but they definitely aren’t the same thing.
Each one focuses on group behaviors, but different group behaviors and the proposed outcome of those behaviors are also different.
The real mistake being made here is trying to condense these concepts into a couple of sentences and pass it off as useful information when most of it is based on research from 50+ years ago. It’s only really useful when you can use this as part of a much larger understanding of how being in a group setting changes individual behavior
