Question 2

Whenever your friend Ted surfs online,he writes terribly harsh letters to strangers using a bogus email address.Ted's behavior can likely be attributed to the role of _______ in deindividuation.&#10;A)group size&#10;B)physical anonymity&#10;C)arousing activities&#10;D)culture

Accepted Answer

Ted's behavior can be attributed to the role of physical anonymity in deindividuation. When individuals feel anonymous, they are more likely to engage in behaviors that they would not normally engage in if their identity was known. This can occur in online environments where individuals can hide behind a screen name or a fake email address.

Question 3

Accepted Answer

The correct choice is D because the study found that people wearing nurses' uniforms delivered less shock than those who were not anonymous.

Question 4

The relationship between group size and the probability of deindividuation occurring is&#10;A)positive.&#10;B)negative.&#10;C)neutral.&#10;D)curvilinear.

Accepted Answer

The relationship between group size and the probability of deindividuation occurring is positive. As the size of a group increases, people may feel more anonymous and less accountable for their actions, increasing the likelihood of deindividuation.

Question 5

The relationship between self-consciousness and deindividuation is&#10;A)positive.&#10;B)negative.&#10;C)neutral.&#10;D)curvilinear.

Accepted Answer

Self-consciousness and deindividuation are inversely related. When individuals are more self-conscious, they are less likely to experience a loss of individual identity and behave in ways that are inconsistent with their personal values and beliefs. In contrast, deindividuation occurs when individuals become less self-aware and more likely to behave in ways that are influenced by their group, even if these behaviors are inconsistent with personal values and beliefs.

Question 6

found that cultures with depersonalized warriors were&#10;A)more likely to be victorious.&#10;B)less likely to be victorious.&#10;C)less likely to brutalize their victims.&#10;D)more likely to brutalize their victims.

Accepted Answer

Depersonalized warriors, who are often masked or disguised, are more likely to brutalize their victims due to reduced personal accountability and increased psychological distance from their actions.

Question 7

When people experience a loss of self-awareness as well as evaluation apprehension,they are in a state of&#10;A)social facilitation.&#10;B)social loafing.&#10;C)deindividuation.&#10;D)groupthink.

Accepted Answer

Deindividuation is a state in which an individual loses their sense of self-awareness and becomes immersed in a group or social situation. This can lead to a loss of inhibitions and an increase in impulsive or deviant behavior. Evaluation apprehension, on the other hand, refers to the fear of being judged or evaluated by others. In a deindividuated state, individuals may feel less self-conscious and less concerned about how they are perceived, which can lead to more extreme behavior. Social facilitation refers to the tendency for individuals to perform better on simple tasks in the presence of others. Social loafing occurs when individuals reduce their effort and contribution to a group task due to a lack of accountability or personal responsibility. Groupthink is a phenomenon in which a group of people prioritize group cohesion and consensus at the expense of critical thinking and decision-making.

Question 8

Which of the following circumstances contributes to people becoming deindividuated?&#10;A)They are immersed in a large group.&#10;B)They are physically anonymous.&#10;C)They are involved in arousing,distracting activities.&#10;D)All of these.

Accepted Answer

All of the listed circumstances (being in a large group, being physically anonymous, and being involved in arousing/distracting activities) can contribute to people becoming deindividuated. When individuals are in large groups, they may feel less accountable for their actions and more likely to conform to the behavior of the group as a whole. Being physically anonymous (such as wearing a mask or being in a dark room) can further increase these feelings of reduced individuality and accountability. Finally, engaging in arousing or distracting activities (such as dancing or rioting) can also contribute to deindividuation by increasing excitement and reducing self-awareness.

Question 9

A loss of self-awareness and evaluation apprehension,which can occur in group situations,is called&#10;A)groupthink.&#10;B)social loafing.&#10;C)group polarization.&#10;D)deindividuation.

Accepted Answer

Deindividuation refers to a phenomenon where individuals lose their sense of self-awareness and evaluation apprehension, often occurring in group situations where they feel less accountable for their behavior. They may become more likely to engage in impulsive and irrational behavior, often leading to a breakdown in normal social constraints and norms. Groupthink refers specifically to a situation where group members prioritize harmony and conformity over critical thinking and decision-making, often leading to poor outcomes. Social loafing refers to the tendency for individuals to exert less effort in group settings when their individual contributions cannot be easily identified. Group polarization describes the tendency for group discussions and interactions to lead to more extreme positions and opinions than those held by individual members prior to the discussion.

Question 10

One effect of deindividuation is&#10;A)diminished self-restraint.&#10;B)increased self-awareness.&#10;C)social facilitation.&#10;D)a risky shift.

Accepted Answer

Deindividuation can cause individuals to feel less accountable for their actions and therefore be less restrained in their behavior. This can lead them to act in ways that they might not normally do if they were in a more individualized state.
