Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Deindividuation occurs when individuals lose their sense of personal identity and become part of a larger group, leading to a decrease in self-awareness and individual responsibility. This is often achieved by masking individual identities (such as through uniforms or costumes) and providing distractions that focus attention on the group rather than the self. Choices A, C, and D do not necessarily promote deindividuation, and in some cases may even promote a stronger sense of individuality within the group.
