Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Diener and her colleagues found that children who were anonymous and in a group were most likely to commit transgressions, including stealing candy. This suggests that the combination of anonymity and the presence of peers can lead to a reduced sense of accountability and increased willingness to engage in deviant behavior. The study did not specifically look at frustration as a factor in trick-or-treat theft.
