Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Deindividuation occurs when individuals in a group lose their sense of personal identity and as a result, engage in behaviors they wouldn't do alone. By addressing specific individuals in the crowd, the police officer is reminding them of their individuality and personal accountability, which may help to reduce the effects of deindividuation on the group. The other options may increase aggression and further deindividuation.
