"La plupart" is always in the plural form.
"La majorité", "la totalité", and "la moitié" depend on whether you want to emphasise the group itself or the persons/things inside the group.
Group:
La majorité/totalité/moitié des gens veut participer. Here, you're talking about the group in general.
Persons:
La majorité/totalité/moitié des gens veulent participer. Here, you're emphasising the people inside the group.
Does that make sense?
